Top 5 hotels to stay in Dubai

Dubai knows how to welcome visitors, to say the least. A brand-new city where its development took place after the 1950s, the City of Gold has established itself as a privileged destination for those who love luxury. Everything seems a little out of proportion, like the Burj Khalifa and its 823-metre height, which makes it the world’s tallest building, or the seven-star Burj-al-Arab hotel. Contrary to what you might think, hotels in Dubai don’t cost an arm and a leg. It’s quite possible to stay in a very comfortable, well-located hotel for a more than reasonable price. So here’s a list of five hotels that are great places to stay.
