The ever-changing landscape of Dubai is an oasis for curious minds and adventure seekers who love to change scenery and find new things to experience. A city so diverse in its offerings that it truly does cater to everyone, no matter the taste, culture, or preferences.
We have to admit that in a city so big, with so much variety of choices to pick from it can get overwhelming to make up your mind on what to do. Social media accounts have become our newest form of browsing as we revert to content creators who we relate to, to be our new “trip advisors” and “local tour guides”.
We have gathered the top 8 TikTok accounts to keep you updated on the best experiences to have in Dubai.
Whether you are transiting via Dubai for your next destination, spending a “swinter” holiday in bling city, or are a resident seeking for fun new places to visit over the weekend, we have you covered!
