Why we recommend it
Arabian Courtyard sits on Al Fahidi Street, directly opposite the Al Fahidi Fort that houses the Dubai Museum, which makes it one of the best-placed hotels for exploring old Dubai on foot. The Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, the Al Seef waterfront and the abra stations for the Gold and Spice Souks are all within a short walk, and Sharaf DG and Al Ghubaiba Metro stations are about 500 metres away.
The 4-star hotel has 172 rooms, including executive rooms, suites and family and accessible rooms, plus a temperature-controlled pool, sauna, health club and spa. There is a bar with live music and a choice of places to eat. It offers solid comfort at a much lower price than the beach resorts, and the airport is only around 6 kilometres away, which helps on short stays.
