Pubs/Bars

Walking distance from the apartment. British pub food and drinks at very affordable prices. They also have screens showing sports indoors if you are interested. My favorite is the balcony view when the weather is nice to sit outside.

Food scene

Another place at a walking distance from the apartment. Great place to have your Italian lunch or dinner. Good food. Outdoor seating during the winter months with a lovely view. They also deliver through local food delivery apps like Zomato.

My special recommendation

This place is a little gem on the beach if you like to relax with casual seating and taste the Emirati cuisine. Nothing fancy. I recommend their Emirati style biryani. Great selection of healthy mocktails. No alcohol. Open 24h. 30 minutes drive from the apartment.

Great authentic Mexican food and my personal favorite. If you are visiting Dubai mall, this is a great place for a meal with a view.

Sightseeing

It is the biggest mall in the world with a lot to offer not only for shopping but to spend the day with entertainment. You can see the Dubai mall aquarium and zoo, watch the Dubai dancing fountains, visit Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world and much more. You can get there by taxi but might be a good touristy way to get there by metro starting at Ibn Battuta mall. This way toy will get a scenic route passing through the city.
