About Dubai
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is the world's busiest airport by international passenger traffic and the home hub for Emirates, with direct connections to over 150 countries. The city itself divides sharply between the historic Creek district — with its gold and spice souks, abra water taxis, and the Al Fahidi heritage neighbourhood — and the modern skyline of Downtown Dubai, anchored by the Burj Khalifa. Dubai Mall, one of the world's largest shopping centres, sits at the base of the Burj Khalifa and connects to the Dubai Fountain, the world's largest choreographed water feature. The desert hinterland offers dune bashing, camel trekking, and overnight camps within 60 minutes of the city. Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) handles some cargo and charter traffic but DXB remains the primary hub for passenger services. Dubai's tax-free status and the strength of the dirham-euro exchange rate make it a particularly competitive long-haul destination for European travellers on retail and dining budgets.
