Living in Downtown: towers, low-rise blocks and hotels

Downtown Dubai is built around the Burj Khalifa district. Tall residential towers line Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, the Old Town area has low-rise apartment buildings with quieter lanes, and the Opera District adds newer towers close to the lake. Visitors fill the hotels and holiday apartments, while residents mostly live in apartments with a gym and pool in the building.

The low-rise Old Town buildings often have wider living rooms, which leaves enough floor to set up two tables side by side. In the tall towers, a bedroom with the curtains drawn is usually the calmest place, away from the light and sound of the fountain area at night.

A massage after an evening on the Boulevard

Downtown evenings are full: a walk along the Boulevard, dinner with a view of the fountain shows, a concert or a performance at the Opera. Getting home through the traffic can take longer than the evening itself. Booking a session for when you get back means no second trip out, and you go straight from the table to bed.

For a calm finish to a night out, a 60-minute Swedish massage is the usual pick. Visiting parents who have spent the day on their feet around the malls and the lake often prefer reflexology, a massage focused on the feet.

Holiday homes and visiting family in Downtown

Downtown is one of the most visited parts of the city, and many guests choose a holiday apartment over a hotel for a longer stay. If you are hosting family for a week, a massage at home is easy to plan around sightseeing days, ideally on a quieter afternoon between two busy ones.

For a visiting parent or friend, a gift card is sent by email and stays valid for 12 months, so they can use it this week or on a return trip within the year. First time booking at home? Read what to expect from your first home massage.

Before your therapist arrives in Downtown

Downtown towers can be large, with more than one lobby and several lifts. A little preparation helps:

• Send the tower name and the entrance you use, not only the district.
• Let the concierge or reception know you have a visitor coming, if your building asks for it.
• Choose the room furthest from the street side on nights when the Boulevard is busy.
• Shower beforehand if you like, and wear something loose and comfortable.
