Dubai International Financial Center

Discover fine dining, acclaimed art galleries, awe-inspiring architecture and a world-leading business hub at Dubai’s financial heart.

Amid the state-of-the-art urban architecture, upscale apartments and power-lunching city workers, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is a vibrant district, alive with art galleries representing work by emerging and established artists from around the world, and some of Dubai’s hottest “see-and-be-seen” dining spots.

The financial hub is also home to some of the city’s most sophisticated five-star hotels and chic residential towers, all connected with walkways dotted with public art and a smattering of high-end boutiques.

Once you’ve had your fill of five-star leisure and arts during the day, it’s time to discover why DIFC has recently gained its well-deserved reputation for being a gourmand’s heaven. There is always a buzz in the evenings’ thanks to award-winning dining spots like La Petite Maison, Zuma, and Indochine.

Getting there: There are two Dubai Metro stations in the area – Emirates Towers and Financial Centre.
