The Experience

Before You Go

Bring photo ID for Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa level 124 requires valid ID—carry your passport or Emirates ID to avoid delays at the entrance.

Dress smart casual for hotel terraces

If you select the Armani dinner option, adhere to smart-casual dress codes enforced by upscale hotel restaurants.

Time your day for golden hour

Late-afternoon starts capture softer light for Marina and Palm views and align with the evening fountain show.

Hydrate and protect from sun

Dubai’s sun is strong year-round—carry water, sunscreen, and a hat especially in summer months.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood for a quieter glimpse of old Dubai
  • A short stop along Jumeirah beach for unobstructed Burj Al Arab views

Wildlife

  • Western reef heron along the shoreline
  • Feral parrots and common city pigeons in urban gardens

Conservation Note

Rapid coastal development has impacted local marine habitats; visitors can reduce impact by avoiding litter, using refillable water bottles and following local guidance around protected areas.

Dubai evolved from a 19th-century pearling and fishing economy into a global city through trade, oil wealth and major land-reclamation projects like Palm Jumeirah.
