Magical Apt With Rooftop Pool & Burj Khalifa View!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay in the Heart of Dubai! I had an amazing experience at this Airbnb in Business Bay. The apartment was spotless, modern, and exactly as described—actually even better in person! The views of the city skyline were stunning, especially at night. The location is perfect—just minutes from Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Mall, with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. Check-in was smooth, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary bottled water, fast Wi-Fi, and a well-stocked kitchen. The building itself was secure and had top-notch amenities, including a pool and gym. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury in Dubai, this is the place to book. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

2BR High Floor Infinity Pool - Burj Khalifa View
We had a great time! The location was perfect and the view of the Burj Khalifa was very cool. Karen was very responsive. Highly recommend!

Burj Khalifa Views | Pool, PS5, VR, Dubai Mall
Our stay at this apartment was absolutely incredible! The design is beautiful—every detail is thoughtfully curated, making it both stylish and comfortable. The highlight, of course, was the stunning view of the Burj Khalifa from the windows; waking up to that iconic skyline was unforgettable. I would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Dubai—it’s the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and an unbeatable view. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Heart of Dubai
The place was amazing, Ruslan's instructions were excellent and the car parking a breeze. The area is incredible with Time Out Market just over the way and the Burj and stuff right on the doorstep. The apartment was pristine, amazing bed with bathrooms and kitchen spotless. Amazing views from the balcony and access to pool and gym easy to find, there is also a games room, steam room there too. Take three plus nights as its so nice to potter around the area and in the apartment rather than just an overnight stay. We will be booking again in the winter breaks for sure and will always use the place for any family that visit. Thank YOU !!!

It was great experience staying at this place

FULL Burj Khalifa Views, EMAAR Burj Royale
We stayed at Mr. Alihan’s Airbnb for a week, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Dubai. I travel to Dubai often and usually stay in hotels, but after this stay, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a hotel again! The apartment exceeded all expectations it met every luxury standard and went beyond. Everything in the space was thoughtfully curated, from the design to the smallest details. High-end brands and top-quality materials were used throughout the apartment, giving it a true 5-star feel (if not better!). The location was also a huge plus just a 10–15 minute drive from the airport and very close to all the major attractions and areas in the city. It was incredibly convenient and central. Mr. Alihan was an exceptional host. You could tell he put so much care into making sure guests have everything they need. The place felt like home immediately, and I already miss it! I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone travel in

All the amenities were there and for anything else we had it delivered in under 15 mins. We even requested for a late check out which they accommodated at a small fee. They are extremely responsive and great hosts. Overall, I’d recommend them for a hassle-free stay and would definitely stay there again on our next visit.

Your guide to Dubai
All About Dubai
Dubai began as a small fishing village and eventually grew into one of the most dynamic metropolises in the United Arab Emirates. It’s a fascinating desert city, with a soaring modern skyline made up of some of the world’s tallest towers and some of the largest shopping malls on the planet. You’ll also find championship golf courses, gorgeous beaches, man-made islands, and even indoor ski slopes here.
It’s easy to focus on the hypermodern half of the city in all of its glitzy, air-conditioned glory, but don’t overlook Dubai’s historic Old Quarter where you can check out 19th-century architecture, browse the gold souk for jewelry, get a bite at one of the more traditional restaurants or tea houses, and visit the Dubai Museum that’s housed inside a fort from 1787. The exciting blend of ancient heritage and ahead-of-the-curve futurism is what makes Dubai so unique, and if you’d like to get a better feel for the city’s natural surroundings, you can head out on an excursion to the nearby desert.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dubai
There’s really no way around it: Dubai — and the entire region surrounding it — is hot. After all, this is largely desert country, and the primary way to elude the heat is to stay indoors, whether you’re out exploring or at your apartment or condo rental in Dubai. This heat is why many of Dubai’s top attractions are indoors, with plenty of air conditioning to keep you comfortable. And while summertime temperatures average among the highest on the planet, the winter months are comparably mild, with plenty of comfortable daytime average temperatures and some pleasantly cool nights. Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims, gradually shifts its occurrence each calendar year, but if you’re visiting during this time, expect to find a different level of activity as religious practitioners observe traditions of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.
Top things to do in Dubai
Burj Khalifa
At 2,722 feet and rising 160 stories, the Burj Khalifa is not only one of the world’s tallest buildings, but it’s also one of the world’s tallest free-standing structures. There are three different observation decks where you can extend your visit: The lounge offers tea, baked goods, and champagne while the top two have fast elevator rides, telescopes, virtual reality experiences, and 360-degree observation decks.
Gold and Spice Souks
To experience the marketplace energy that’s fueled this part of the world for centuries, head out to the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk. Souks, or bazaars, represent the essence of trade in the same vein as they have for hundreds of years. Dubai’s Gold Souk is one of the legendary gold jewelry trading centers in the world, and the Spice Souk… well, you just have to go and smell for yourself.
Dubai Mall
Dubai is a shoppers’ paradise, and Dubai Mall is its epicenter. It ranks as one of the world’s largest indoor shopping centers, and you’ll need a highly detailed map to navigate it from end to end. There are more than 1,300 stores, boutiques, and shops here. And there are also countless entertainment and kid-friendly options, including an ice rink and a 22-screen cinema.
