Conservation Note
Rapid development has transformed coastlines and habitats; visiting sustainably means respecting bird sanctuaries like Ras Al Khor and minimizing disturbance to desert ecosystems.
Dubai evolved from a pearling and trading town on the Creek to a global commercial and construction hub in the 20th century, driven by trade routes and later oil and development.
What to Bring
Reusable water bottleEssential
Staying hydrated is crucial in Dubai’s heat, especially when hopping between outdoor sights.
Sunscreen and sunglassesEssential
Sun protection is useful year-round; glare from glass and sand can be intense.

Navigation, translation apps, and photos drain batteries—keep a backup for a full day out.
Light layers or shawl
Air-conditioned interiors and cooler winter evenings make a light layer handy.
