Soak in Dubai's Epic Skyline From These Luxurious Airbnbs

Dubai Epic Stays
by Hannah D. Cooper Mar 14, 2023

There’s more to Dubai than skyscrapers and luxury malls. Back in the day, the emirate was a humble fishing village and center for pearl diving. Exploring the winding streets of Al Fahidi and creekside souks of Bur Dubai gives you a sense of the old city before those shimmering glass towers rose from the desert. The accommodation scene is just as diverse as the food scene or neighborhoods, with Airbnb rentals in Dubai ranging from lofty apartments to waterfront condos.

We hope you love the Airbnb Dubai vacation rentals we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.
