Catching spectacular sunset views in Dubai isn’t hard – it’s just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Here are some of the top spots to be in to witness that immaculate golden glow that’s straight out of a painting.
The World’s Tallest Building
What better way to enjoy the sunset than while atop the tallest building in the world? Conveniently located near many hotel suites in Dubai, the Burj Khalifa’s observation deck treats you to views of vibrant sunset colours that glint off nearby skyscrapers.
The Beaches
Head to any of the city’s sandy shores to catch the distant horizon bathed in golden beauty. Al Sufouh Beach is a great laid-back spot if you’re at nearby hotels like Oaks Liwa Heights, but if you want to be among the crowds, Kite Beach is the place to be.
Out on the Water
Hop on board a traditional abra boat and traverse the waters of Dubai Creek. You’ll catch views of the city skyline bathed in the glow of the setting sun while enjoying a delicious meal.
The Desert Landscapes
Sunsets in the desert always hit a little differently. Head to the vast sandy landscapes either on your own or via a tour, and ascend to the top of a dune – the golden sands accentuated by the sun are unlike anything you’ll see in the city.
