On the city news front: Dubai Municipality’s stepped-up food safety has seen over 34,000 inspections and more than 2,300 new food outlets opening their doors just this year, boosting both public confidence and culinary choices.

For today’s must-do activities, don’t miss a stroll through Dubai Marina or relax by The Dubai Fountain in the evening – both free, iconic, and perfect for Instagram moments. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the AURA SKYPOOL for panoramic city views, or escape the bustle by kayaking along Dubai Creek. Those interested in quirky experiences should explore Alserkal Avenue for cutting-edge contemporary art and indie cafes[6][3].
Local tip: While Dubai’s malls and attractions are famous globally, the city’s old neighborhoods like Deira and Bur Dubai offer a slice of authentic Emirati life. Wander through the souks, haggle for spices or textiles, and sample traditional street food – it’s an experience you won’t find in glitzy shopping centers[3].
