Stunning 5BDR Villa-Dubai Hills
We had booked this place for a company retreat. The hosts were very generous, responsive and accommodating. Flexible with an early check-in, late check-out. The house is decorated beautifully and very well equipped - all kitchen goods were in excellent condition. The location is easy to find (you have to have a car, it's Dubai) and the backyard is serene and peaceful. Great stay and rare find for a large group of people. Highly recommended

Unique 4BR Villa in Maple 1 Dubai Hills
Very nice and clean Villa. The pics don’t do justice, will be our first choice in Dubai Hills Estate.

COZY HOUSE| Sleeps 6+ Patio+Nr METRO+ Free parking
What a gem! Choosing Nihal's place in Dubai was an excellent decision for our visit. The apartment was not just clean, but felt fresh and inviting. The hosts were incredibly cooperative and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The thoughtful and beautiful decor of his place truly enhanced our stay. We were thoroughly impressed and would wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Dubai. We certainly hope to return in the future!"

Charming corner villa with private garden
As a Family of 4 who used to live in Dubai, this place was perfect, everything was as described and Roxanne and Aziz were unbelievably helpful and responsive from booking onwards and while we were staying there. We hired a car as we know our way around and the location was perfect, 15 mins away from almost everything. We really appreciated how easy it was to find the place and easy to get in and out. Thanks for a great stay! Hopefully visit here again. Jess

Mag Eye - Spacious Two Bedroom Townhouse
Great place, Geoffrey was amazing in helping us get settled and resolving any issue that came up

Stunningly Modern Desert Oasis
The villa is really great, unlike other airb&bs we have stayed at the kitchen is super well stocked with everything you need. The villa is really clean and has a lovely feel to it. You can walk to the golf club and local souk in no time, which is so handy. The pool is really close to the property too! Holly is an excellent host and very responsive to support and get back to any questions. we are booked in again inf feb and look forward to a second family stay thank you again

Pool Villa - 15 Mins to JBR Beach - 5 Guests
We were looking for a place for my family, coming from India, to celebrate New Year's. Sunrise Homes worked out like a charm, especially since we lived in the vicinity. It is situated in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, with the local market a 10-minute walk away. The seniors in the family had a very comfortable stay. Clean and very well managed by a Superhost, Teuta, who is very responsive, made our holiday memorable.

Pool&Gym, whole villa
I had a fantastic stay at the villa, and our host truly went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed and well taken care of. The villa was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need. Our host was always available to answer any questions and provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining options. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made all the difference. It felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you for an amazing experience I hope this captures your experience well! If you need any adjustments, just let me know. 😊

Your guide to Dubai
All About Dubai
Dubai began as a small fishing village and eventually grew into one of the most dynamic metropolises in the United Arab Emirates. It’s a fascinating desert city, with a soaring modern skyline made up of some of the world’s tallest towers and some of the largest shopping malls on the planet. You’ll also find championship golf courses, gorgeous beaches, man-made islands, and even indoor ski slopes here.
It’s easy to focus on the hypermodern half of the city in all of its glitzy, air-conditioned glory, but don’t overlook Dubai’s historic Old Quarter where you can check out 19th-century architecture, browse the gold souk for jewelry, get a bite at one of the more traditional restaurants or tea houses, and visit the Dubai Museum that’s housed inside a fort from 1787. The exciting blend of ancient heritage and ahead-of-the-curve futurism is what makes Dubai so unique, and if you’d like to get a better feel for the city’s natural surroundings, you can head out on an excursion to the nearby desert.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dubai
There’s really no way around it: Dubai — and the entire region surrounding it — is hot. After all, this is largely desert country, and the primary way to elude the heat is to stay indoors, whether you’re out exploring or at your apartment or condo rental in Dubai. This heat is why many of Dubai’s top attractions are indoors, with plenty of air conditioning to keep you comfortable. And while summertime temperatures average among the highest on the planet, the winter months are comparably mild, with plenty of comfortable daytime average temperatures and some pleasantly cool nights. Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims, gradually shifts its occurrence each calendar year, but if you’re visiting during this time, expect to find a different level of activity as religious practitioners observe traditions of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.
Top things to do in Dubai
Burj Khalifa
At 2,722 feet and rising 160 stories, the Burj Khalifa is not only one of the world’s tallest buildings, but it’s also one of the world’s tallest free-standing structures. There are three different observation decks where you can extend your visit: The lounge offers tea, baked goods, and champagne while the top two have fast elevator rides, telescopes, virtual reality experiences, and 360-degree observation decks.
Gold and Spice Souks
To experience the marketplace energy that’s fueled this part of the world for centuries, head out to the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk. Souks, or bazaars, represent the essence of trade in the same vein as they have for hundreds of years. Dubai’s Gold Souk is one of the legendary gold jewelry trading centers in the world, and the Spice Souk… well, you just have to go and smell for yourself.
Dubai Mall
Dubai is a shoppers’ paradise, and Dubai Mall is its epicenter. It ranks as one of the world’s largest indoor shopping centers, and you’ll need a highly detailed map to navigate it from end to end. There are more than 1,300 stores, boutiques, and shops here. And there are also countless entertainment and kid-friendly options, including an ice rink and a 22-screen cinema.
