FAQ

Can't find the answer you'r looking for? We've shared some of our most frequently asked question to help you out!

Is it easy to get from Business Bay to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall?

Yes, it is incredibly easy. Business Bay directly borders Downtown Dubai. Depending on exactly where your hotel is located, it is typically a 5 to 10-minute taxi ride. Some hotels in the northern part of Business Bay are even within walking distance of the mall.

Are flight and hotel packages to Dubai protected?

Yes. When you book your flights and Business Bay hotel together through Stunning Holiday, your entire package is financially protected. You can travel with complete peace of mind knowing your holiday investment is secure.

Does Business Bay have a metro station?

Yes, the district is served by the Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line. This makes it very convenient to travel to other parts of the city, including Dubai Marina, Deira, and the airport, without relying on taxis.

What is the Tourism Dirham fee, and do I have to pay it?

Yes, all hotels in Dubai are required by law to collect a local tax called the Tourism Dirham. You pay this directly to the hotel at check-in or check-out. The fee is charged per room, per night, and costs AED 20 for 5-star hotels, AED 15 for 4-star hotels, and AED 10 for 3-star hotels.

How far is Business Bay from Dubai International Airport (DXB)?

Business Bay is very centrally located. A taxi ride from DXB Airport to a hotel in this district usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the time of day and traffic conditions.

Do Business Bay hotels require a credit card deposit at check-in?

Yes, it is standard practice for almost all hotels in Dubai to block a security deposit on your credit card upon check-in. This covers potential incidentals like room service or minibar usage. The unused amount is released back to your card at check-out.

Can I walk around Business Bay?

Yes, especially around the Dubai Water Canal. The canal features a wide, beautifully maintained pedestrian promenade that is perfect for walking and cycling. However, if you are moving deep into the commercial blocks during the hotter months, a taxi is recommended.

Do hotels in Business Bay offer views of the Burj Khalifa?

Yes, several hotels in Business Bay—such as Taj Dubai and The St. Regis Downtown Dubai—are famous for offering spectacular, unobstructed views of the Burj Khalifa. Be sure to specifically book a "Burj View" room if this is a priority for your stay.

Is Business Bay a good choice for family holidays?

Absolutely. While it is a major business hub, the area offers fantastic serviced apartments with multiple bedrooms and full kitchens, making it very comfortable for families. Plus, you are just minutes away from family-friendly attractions like the Dubai Aquarium and the Dubai Fountain.

Do hotels in Business Bay serve alcohol?

Yes. Just like in Downtown and Dubai Marina, licensed 4-star and 5-star hotels in Business Bay freely serve alcohol to tourists in their attached bars, lounges, and restaurants.
