The district

DIFC is where Dubai's art scene and its financial district share the same colonnades. Gallery openings, design showrooms and restaurant terraces occupy the ground floors beneath the offices.

Hotels here are built for business travellers but increasingly attract weekend visitors drawn by the dining.

It is walkable, well connected and quiet at weekends.
