Business Bay Attractions

Business Bay is the heart of modern Dubai, where glass skyscrapers meet the water. The main gem of the district is the Dubai Water Canal, 3.2 km long. Along it stretches a promenade with pedestrian bridges, cafes, and restaurants. It's pleasant to stroll here at any time of day, and in the evening there opens a stunning view of the illuminated towers.

What to See in Business Bay?

  • Business Bay Marina — a marina with yachts, restaurants, and lounge areas. A great place for a dinner by the water.
  • Bay Avenue Mall — a shopping center with stores, supermarkets, and a food court. Suitable for leisurely shopping.
  • Water taxis (abra) — a colorful way to travel along the canal. The trip is inexpensive and offers new impressions.

Rest in Business Bay: Is It Worth Going?

If you appreciate modern architecture, enjoy walking by the water, and want to be close to the center of Dubai, Business Bay is an excellent choice.

There are many mid-range hotels (300–600 AED per night) and restaurants with affordable prices (lunch — 50–100 AED).
