Why go
Go to see a district planned around design, fashion and creative work rather than a conventional historic quarter. Its first phase, completed in 2015, brought offices, studios, ateliers, showrooms and retail space together near Dubai Creek, behind Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.
What to look for
- Studios, ateliers and showrooms within the district's first completed phase.
- A location beside Dubai Creek, near Business Bay and behind Burj Khalifa.
- A district created as a home for fashion, design and creative businesses.
Useful to know
- Treat d3 as a working design district and check individual venues before making a special trip.
- Combine it with nearby Business Bay or Downtown Dubai rather than expecting a self-contained attraction.
