Discover Dubai Design District

Roamigo Team May 17, 2026

I still remember my visit to Dubai Design District on a sunny Friday, 17th February, when I stumbled upon this amazing cafe, The Lighthouse, and had the best cappuccino for just 25 AED. You'll find it on the corner of Couture Street and Design Street.

Getting There

So, to get to Dubai Design District, take the metro to Business Bay station and then grab a taxi, it's just a 10-minute ride. Honestly, the traffic in Dubai can be crazy, but my driver, Ahmed, was a pro and got me there in no time.

Cafes and Restaurants

Look, if you're a foodie like me, you'll love the variety of cafes and restaurants in d3. I ordered the Shakshuka at Molten and it was divine, priced at around 50 AED. And don't even get me started on the Street Art scene, it's like a whole different world.

Street Art and Galleries

Here's the thing: d3 is not just about food and drink, it's also a hub for art and design. You'll find some amazing galleries like Alserkal Avenue and El Seed, showcasing local and international artists. But what really caught my attention was the stunning street art on the walls and buildings, a must-see for any art lover.

Things to Do

If you're looking for more adventure, consider taking a Premium Marina Dhow Cruise or visiting the LEGOLAND Water Park for a fun-filled day. Alternatively, explore the Miracle Garden & Global Village for a unique experience.

Practical Tips

So, before you head to d3, make sure to check the opening hours and prices for each gallery and cafe, as they may vary. You can book tours through Roamigo Trips for a hassle-free experience. Honestly, it's a great way to explore Dubai's hidden gems without worrying about the logistics.
