Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to be the most useful and reliable independent resource for anyone living in, working in, or visiting Dubai.
We are not affiliated with any government entity, tourism board, or real-estate developer. Our editorial content is produced independently, and our standards are outlined in our Editorial Standards page. When we publish sponsored content, it is always clearly labelled.
Our History
GoDubai.com was launched in 1996, during the early days of the internet in the UAE. At the time, there were very few online resources about Dubai. We started as a simple directory and city guide, and grew alongside the city itself — from the pre-Burj era through the construction boom, the 2008 recovery, Expo 2020, and into Dubai's current chapter as a global hub for business, tourism, and innovation.
Over the years, we have published tens of thousands of articles, listed thousands of businesses, and served millions of page views. Through it all, our commitment has remained the same: provide honest, useful, and up-to-date information about Dubai.
Our Editorial Standards
Accuracy and trust are the foundation of our work. Every article goes through a structured editorial process. We verify facts with primary sources, clearly disclose any commercial relationships, and promptly correct errors when they occur.
