Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Dubai are found in a city that is long, coastal and spread across several distinct districts. Wikivoyage describes Dubai as one of the emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates and its financial centre, with older districts in Deira and Bur Dubai and modern skyscraper districts along the coast. The UAE government portal says the historic creek divides the city, with Deira to the north and Bur Dubai to the south. For a short explanation of the format, see what is an aparthotel.

Wikivoyage says the Burj Khalifa lies in Downtown Dubai, between Jumeirah and the rest of the suburbs. It notes that the Metro Red Line includes a stop at the Burj Khalifa, so the district can be reached by rail.

Wikivoyage describes the Marina as a mega-development full of skyscrapers and lists it among the top attractions of the Jumeirah region, alongside Jumeirah Beach. The Dubai Tram runs along Al Sufouh Road and around the Marina, according to Wikivoyage, and meets the Metro at the Jumeirah Lakes Towers station, among others.

Wikivoyage calls Jumeirah a mix of residential and tourist destinations, influenced by European architecture and favoured by Westerners for its easy access to the beach. Jumeirah Beach and Jumeirah Road are listed among the main attractions of the area.
Wikivoyage describes Deira as the old financial centre and now a commercial and residential district with old souks, including one specialising in spices. Union Station in Deira is one of the Metro's two interchange points, and Wikivoyage places the airport's Metro stations on the Red Line.

Wikivoyage describes Bur Dubai as a historical district on the south side of Dubai Creek, with attractions that range from abras (small ferries) to souks. Khalid Bin Al Waleed station is the other Metro interchange, and the Green Line runs through the city core.

Dubai International Airport is the main airport, and Wikivoyage says Terminals 1 and 3 have their own Metro station. Al Maktoum International Airport is at the far south-western end of Dubai, nearly 60 km from central Dubai according to Wikivoyage. Sharjah International Airport in the neighbouring emirate also takes international flights.
Visit Dubai's official guide covers the Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram, and the airport operator says the Red Line connects with Dubai International Airport Terminals 1 and 3. Wikivoyage describes the Metro Red Line as running along the coast with stops at the airport and the Burj Khalifa, while the Green Line goes through the city core, with transfers at Union and Khalid Bin Al Waleed. It adds that the Red Line does not serve the old city centre, that most visitors still take taxis quite often, and that in summer a taxi is more practical even for getting to the nearest Metro station. Wikivoyage says nol cards for public transport can be bought at most bus stations and at Metro stations.
Wikivoyage describes Downtown Dubai and the Marina as skyscraper districts, with the Metro stopping at the Burj Khalifa and the tram serving the Marina, while Jumeirah is a mix of residential and tourist areas with easy beach access. Deira and Bur Dubai are the older districts on either side of the Creek.
Wikivoyage describes Dubai as known for its large shopping malls, and notes that several have a large supermarket for self-catering. See the long-stay accommodation checklist for what to compare, and serviced apartments for relocation if you are moving to the city.
Wikipedia classes Dubai as a hot desert climate, with summers that are extremely hot, prolonged, windy and humid, and winters that are mild to warm. August is the hottest month and January the coolest. Wikivoyage says cooler, more pleasant weather lasts from the end of September to the beginning of May, and that the heat and humidity of summer effectively rule out most outdoor activity in daylight hours.
Rain is rare. Wikivoyage says December to April generally brings the most precipitation, though little of it.
