Dubai is officially the top travel hotspot of the year, according to TripAdvisor.
At the online travel company’s Travellers’ Choice Awards, the emirate topped the list for the Most Popular Destination of 2022.
Dubai has been slowly climbing the ranks on the list over the past few years and, per CNN, it’s been the go-to spot for travellers during the pandemic.
“Dubai is an ultramodern city that has it all: golden beaches, world-class dining, and gorgeous hotels. Since the Travelers’ Choice Awards are based on reviews of places to go, stay and things to do in destinations, to rank as the world’s best means a destination has obtained stellar traveller reviews across all of its tourism sectors,” Justin Reid, director of media, destinations and travel at Tripadvisor, said per the outlet.

Meanwhile, the next Middle Eastern city to rank on the list was Hurghada, Egypt at spot number 10. Also ranking in the top 25 from the GCC was Doha, Qatar at spot number 23.
