Dubai is a city that boasts many world records.
From the highest building in the world to a seven-star hotel.
But here are some Dubai fun facts that you may not know…
1 It’s a very young city
In the early 1700s,Dubai was just a small fishing and pearl-diving village. By the end of the 18th century, about 1,200 people were living there. Fast-forward to today, Dubai has a population of 3.3 million. Before the discovery of oil, pearls and gold were highly sought after trading items. Visit the souks and Dubai Museum to learn facts about Dubai and the Emirati civilization.
2 It’s a birder’s paradise
Bird-watchers will be thrilled to hear that there are over 320 bird species that migrate between Europe, Asia, and Africa via Dubai. During the spring and fall, birds such as spotted eagles, broad-billed sandpipers, and greater herons pass through the city. They can be seen on a visit to Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, and a falconry safari is a must for bird-lovers young and old. Experience the traditional sport of falconry first-hand with a greater spotted eagle, Harris’ hawk, and desert eagle owl.
3 Its tallest building is based on a flower The world’s tallest building, at 2,716 feet, the Burj Khalifa needs no introduction. An icon in the Dubai skyline, this building should be on your Dubai bucket list. Zip to the 148th floor to see the city below, or chill in the lounge with cocktails on the 123rd floor. A fun Dubai fact is that the design of the building is based on a local desert flower, hymenocallis, also known as the spider lily. There are three feet or lobes which form the architectural base of the Burj Khalifa, which echo the shape of this flower.
4 Its cuisine is truly cosmopolitan
Being a trading center for centuries has meant that food from all over the world has influenced Dubai cuisine. Along with traditional Arabic food, you’ll find spices from India, ingredients from Persia, and eastern Mediterranean influences. Join a food tour to taste different cuisines and learn foodie facts about Dubai. For an authentic start to the day, join a traditional Emirati breakfast experience. If you feel like an adventurous and romantic evening, a dinner at a Bedouin camp is the real deal.
5 Its art scene is flourishing
annual international art fair, Art Dubai, features artists from the Middle East, South East Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Australasia. This cutting-edge event focuses on contemporary artworks that relate to cultural heritage. Visit the Dubai Design District to explore its galleries and shops, or take a personal gallery tour along Alserkal Avenue to see what’s happening on the local scene.
