Dubai Explorer was born from a simple yet profound passion: a love for the extraordinary city of Dubai and a desire to help others experience it to the fullest.
Founded in 2020 by Sarah Thompson after countless trips to the UAE, we started as a small collection of travel notes and evolved into a comprehensive resource dedicated to all things Dubai. Our team of passionate travelers, photographers, and writers has grown, but our mission remains the same—to provide authentic, practical, and inspiring content for Dubai visitors.
What sets us apart is our commitment to experiencing everything we write about firsthand. We don't just recommend places; we visit them, take our own photos, and share our genuine experiences—both the highlights and challenges—to help you plan your perfect Dubai adventure.
To provide honest, reliable information based on real experiences, not sponsored content or paid reviews.
To foster understanding and respect for Dubai's unique blend of traditional heritage and modern innovation.
To create a community of Dubai enthusiasts who share tips, experiences, and a passion for this remarkable city.
To promote sustainable and respectful travel practices that benefit both visitors and the local community.
