Machboos is a spiced rice dish where rice simmers with meat and dried limes so the grains take on deep, layered flavors, it is often considered a celebratory centerpiece.

Food surprised me, great shawarma and seafood stalls, try Emirati breakfast too. Avoid hotel restaurants if you want value.
Pick up a Nol card at the airport and top up for metro and tram, the weekly fare saves a ton over taxis if you plan to hop around Dubai.
Skip restaurants on the main tourist strip, walk 2-3 blocks inland or head to Al Karama for cheaper, better meals and friendlier service.
Felt a bit staged in places, lots of tourists and upselling. Still safe and clean, but not the authentic Middle East I expected.
Hot, flashy and efficient. Expect crowds and high prices, but we loved the malls and skyline. Two weeks was a good pace.
