Dubai is a city of wonders, and it's easy to get overwhelmed by all its attractions. But if you take a moment to explore its nooks and crannies, you'll discover places that are off the beaten path but also worth your time.

Here are three places that won't be on most tourists' itineraries, but they're worth checking out:

The Dubai Frame

This 160-meter-tall structure designed by architect Fernando Donis was built in 2017 at the intersection of Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl Road. It's an observation deck with views of the entire city from its top floor, which rotates 360 degrees. You can also take an elevator to another level where there's a restaurant called Skyview Bar & Lounge.

The Majlis Gallery

This recently opened museum offers visitors an in-depth look at Emirati culture through more than 300 artworks from artists from around the region. The collection includes paintings, sculptures and photographs from artists who depict their vision of life in the UAE through their own styles and techniques. If you want to learn more about Emirati art, this is definitely a place worth checking out!

Al Bastakiya

This historic neighborhood is located near Port Saeed on the eastern side of Dubai Creek. It's a beautiful place to explore as it has many historic buildings and traditional souks (markets). There are also some lovely cafes where you can sit down for a coffee or even lunch if you get hungry during your exploration! Book your Rent Kia Cars in Dubai today.

Kite Beach

Kite beach is a special place. It’s the only place in Dubai where you can get a sense of what life was like before the city was built. The beach is empty and quiet, save for the occasional fisherman or family enjoying a picnic. There are no shops, no cafes, no hotels—just sand dunes and the sea stretching out in front of you.

The Clock Tower Roundabout

This roundabout isn’t just one of the busiest intersections in Dubai; it’s also home to some of its most famous landmarks: The Dubai Museum and Ibn Battuta Mall are just two examples. But did you know that there’s also an underground shopping mall beneath the roundabout? And that it's open 24 hours a day?

Explore the Old Town

Dubai's Old Town is one of its oldest neighborhoods. It's also one of its coolest, thanks to its historic souks and markets, which date back to 1860s. You can find everything from traditional spices and textiles to handmade jewelry and leather goods here—and best of all, most vendors will bargain with you over prices! It's also home to many restaurants serving up traditional Emirati cuisine like chicken biryani (a rice dish) or lamb kebabs with rice pilaf and hummus dip.
