Dubai: Your Complete Travel Guide to this Land of Excess
If you’ve been dreaming of skiing and suntanning in the same day, drunk on $5k bottles of Cristal, Dubai is your opulent paradise.
Oberoi Hotel
Ever imagined opening your eyes to a view of one of the most marvelous skylines in the world, to toss around the bed and roll over the other side to see Burj Al Arab, a lavish building built on an a small man-made island? Well, your dreams can become a languid reality here since you’ll be surrounded by Tumblr-like views every direction you turn.
The Oberoi Dubai
The Oberoi Hotel is a contemporary luxury hotel and its most striking feature is that it overlooks the iconic Burj Khalifa. Imagine coming to your hotel room at night, with tired feet and a bunch of paper bags filled to the brim with clothes and adornments, and dipping your feet in a warm bath inside your bathroom with a large window that overlooks the tallest building on Earth. That’s a dream that will definitely come true at the Oberoi Hotel.
The hotel is near Sheikh Zayed Road (or the road with the best shopping outlets, as the locals call it), making it even easier for you to reach various malls. There are 252 rooms in the hotel, all having floor-to-ceiling windows that give you an enthralling view of the Dubai skyline.

The Oberoi Hotel also offers a spa that has various relaxing Thai massages, a sauna and a mud bath. There are also holistic therapies drawn from Ayurveda in India, along with internationally influenced therapies that are available in their spa.
Yup, Dubai puts the metro in metropolis.

Great guide! Wish it was published a month ago. Last month on a visit to Dubai, we went out to Babs Al Shams for cocktails, dinner and a beautiful sunset. It was a nice escape from the concrete jungle of Dubai and it was only 45 minutes away by private car. Next trip, we are staying out there for a few weeks. ?

Love the article! I too am a solo female traveler. I have a question not necessarily about safety or harassment but about regulations. I heard that you have to be a certain age to be able to stay in Dubai if you are alone. I’m 24 years old and would like to go to Dubai but am I allowed to enter and stay in Dubai if I don’t have anyone with me the whole time?
Paakhi Bhatnagar
Yes of course you are. There’s really no truth in that. I think Dubai is a very safe place to travel, especially solo. Tourism is one of their main sources of revenue and they take tourist safety really seriously.
