About this guide

About the project

Independent city guide: areas, transport, attractions, tickets, and practical guides for your first trip.

Editorial

Who writes this guide

The guide is run by an independent editorial team: a destination expert (Alina Vorontsova, Dubai resident since 2017) and a fact-checking editor. We are not affiliated with any travel agency or hotel chain — we choose what to cover and how to phrase it ourselves.

Methodology

How we score attractions

Each place gets a 1–100 score built from five inputs: wow-factor, value for money, logistics (metro, parking, queues), seasonal fit, and flexibility across trip types. Treat the score as a recommendation, not a hard ranking: prices and schedules change, so always check the official site before booking.

What to keep in mind

Prices, opening hours, and ticket conditions are correct as of the page's last-updated date and may have shifted since. Some booking links are partner links — we earn a commission when you book through them, at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our recommendations.
