Tom Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa in «Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol» (2011) fixed Dubai in the imagination: the city where daring touches the sky.

Quiet spot: the Al Fahidi old quarter, then cross the creek on a traditional abra boat for about 1 dirham. With a data eSIM, Careem and the metro become effortless and you never get lost.
