This is Dubai beyond the working week. The Lifestyle section of DXB Talk is about enjoying the city you live in: the big seasonal days out like Global Village and the festive markets, the desert safaris and observation decks every resident ends up booking for visiting family, and the month-by-month guides that help you catch Dubai at its best. It is also about the everyday side of a good life here — budgeting well, keeping an emergency fund in a city with no income tax safety net, and making the most of weekends without spending a fortune. Whether you have just arrived and are still exploring, or you have lived here for years and fallen into a routine, start with the guides below and rediscover your city.Start with these guides:Global Village Dubai Season 31: The Complete Guide to Tickets, Pavilions, Food and ShowsChristmas in Dubai 2026: Festive Markets, Santa Experiences and Winter CelebrationsCost of Living in Dubai 2026: Real Monthly Budgets for Singles, Couples and FamiliesDubai in January: The Resident’s Guide to the Best MonthEmergency Funds in Dubai: How Much Residents Actually NeedHow to Book a Desert Safari in Dubai Safely: Licensed Operators and Scams to AvoidHow to Book Burj Khalifa Observation Deck Tickets at the Best Price and Time
