Where to stay in Dubai

Dubai offers an incredible array of accommodation options, with a huge range of luxury hotels and a selection of budget-orientated options too. Stay in the Deira area of the city for a few days exploring Dubai’s traditional side, or on the beach for a more relaxed break. The marina area at Jumeirah beach is a popular choice for good value hotels close to the beach plus The Walk offering restaurants and cafes, while the iconic Palm Jumeirah is dotted with luxury hotel options. The new Downtown area at the Burj Khalifa is part way between Deira and the beaches, so works well for getting around.
