Additionally, it will offer you an infinite number of experiences in a relatively small area and... it is located in the heart of the desert! Check out what to see on holiday in Dubai, catch some sun on the beach overlooking the exclusive Burj Al Arab hotel, and in the evening move to a winter resort. Dubai holidays for the brave are waiting!

First stop in Dubai - climb to the top of Dubai Burj Khalifa and see the city from a different perspective.

Burj Khalifa it is the tallest building in the world and shoots towards the sky like a steel needle. It measures 828 meters and is a symbol of modern architecture that reflects the incredible progress, development and wealth of Dubai.

If you book your entrance tickets in advance, you can choose to enter the observation decks, which are located on the 124th, 125th or 148th floor. The stunning view is breathtaking, and the buildings, visible from the top, shine beautifully in the sun against the desert background.

Dubai Holidays - FAQ

Are you looking for useful information before traveling to Dubai? Welcome to our new section of frequently asked questions related to holidays in Dubai.

What currency is used in Dubai (United Arab Emirates)?

When choosing Dubai for your holiday, remember about the currency used here. The currency in the United Arab Emirates is the dirham - AED for short. Converted into our currency, 1 AED is approximately PLN 1.16, depending on the current exchange rate.
