Business Bay Guide: Hotels, Restaurants & Getting Around
Business Bay Guide: Hotels, Restaurants & Getting Around Complete Business Bay guide covering hotels, the canal, restaurants, transport, Downtown access and how to choose the right part of the district.
How to use this guide: choose the part of Business Bay that fits your hotel, beach, restaurants and transport needs, then group activities in the same district to avoid unnecessary journeys.
Why stay or spend time in Business Bay?
Business Bay works best when its location matches the rhythm of your trip. Check walking distances, metro or tram access, beach access where relevant, and how long it takes to reach Downtown, Dubai Marina or Old Dubai.

Compare the exact hotel position rather than relying only on the district name. In Dubai, two hotels in the same broad area can create very different daily travel times.
