Skip the tourist traps, try these instead
Not every plan has to tick off the landmarks. Beyond the tourist trail are places locals keep for themselves – from a creative hub in Al Quoz to a sunset perch by the Creek, or a leafy escape on the city’s edge. Here are four underrated spots to explore, each with restaurants where Careem DineOut makes the bill feel lighter.
Dubai Creek Harbour
One of the city’s most striking sunset spots – an elevated viewing point over the water with the Burj in silhouette. Pause at Aqaya, a work-friendly café for coffee and a bite, or enjoy dinner at Karaz for modern Levantine meze and grills – save when you pay with DineOut.
Nad Al Sheba Mall
Dubai’s newest shopping destination – shiny, spacious, and a little removed from the crowds, making it perfect for a relaxed day out. Grab a specialty coffee at Roasters before browsing the boutiques – pay with DineOut and your bill gets lighter.
Alserkal Avenue
A cultural landmark in Al Quoz, where warehouses have become galleries, performance spaces, and ever-changing pop-ups. Stop at Lila Molino + Café for Mexican comfort food, or recharge at Wild & The Moon – unlock savings with DineOut.
Al Barari
A lush escape on the outskirts – botanical gardens, lakes, and walkways in one of the city’s greenest communities. Among the leafy setting sits New Earth Café, a wellness-led spot serving everything from ricotta toast to shakshuka, with sustainability at its core – enjoy savings with DineOut.
Kite Beach
A stretch of sand that’s become one of Dubai’s liveliest beach hubs – paddle boarding, kite surfing, running tracks, and food stops all along the shore. Between the action, head to Borbone for crispy, thin Roman pizza with a sea view, and enjoy it for less with DineOut.
