Skyscrapers & Sands: The Tech, Media, and Marvels Tour of Dubai

Audio guide8 stops

Skyscrapers curl toward the sky and glass giants gleam where secrets once traded hands in the desert wind. Here in Dubai, every shining surface hides another story waiting to be unearthed. This is your self-guided audio journey—an invitation to sidestep the obvious and uncover what most visitors never hear. Move beyond first impressions as you wander from Dubai Media City’s buzzing corridors to the twisting marvel of Cayan Tower and through the tech legends of Dubai Internet City. Which vanished political power struggle once pulsed behind a glass facade? What cryptic rebellion simmered beneath the city’s futuristic design? Who is remembered only by an obscure code left in a single building? Experience Dubai anew. Move from shimmering towers to quiet plazas. Let each step unravel tales of visionaries, feuds, and futures imagined—and see the city with awakened eyes. Unlock these hidden layers now. The real Dubai waits beneath its reflection.
