Dubai Travel Guide

Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It is rather like an independent city–state and is the most modern and progressive emirate in the UAE, developing at an unbelievable pace in the tourist and trade sectors especially. From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. The emirate embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day, you can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe–inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra–modern shopping malls.

Dubai is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid–back tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle combining the comfort and convenience of the Western world with the unique charm and hospitality of Arabia.

Things to do

The world over children and adults alike enjoy rides, water slides, adventure and theme parks. Dubai has its fair share of such parks including the world's largest theme park – Dubailand – when it is completed. Residents and visitors can visit a range of theme parks in Dubai and enjoy hours or days of thrills, spills and fun.

The warm turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf lapping on to the soft white sand all along Dubais coastline are a sun seekers haven and offer a relaxing alternative to exploring the city. Clean, sandy beaches, guaranteed year–round sunshine, and near–perfect conditions for water sports make Dubai an ideal location for beach lovers.

In recent years, archeologists have unearthed hundreds of artifacts that point to civilised settlements dating back to the third millennium B.C. Dubais main archaeological sites are in Al Sufoh and Jumeirah. These historic findings have been carefully preserved and the artifacts are now permanently housed in the archeological section of Dubai Museum.

Dotted around Dubai are a number of historic buildings and sites that offer a glimpse of a bygone era that visitors can visit to kearn about the countrys history.

Dubai is the sporting capital of the Middle East. Dubai offers a range of leisure and adventure activities including art, dancing, music, pilates, reiki, tai chi, yoga; scuba diving, deep sea fishing, mountain climbing, shotgun shooting, go–karting, bowling, ice skating, indoor skiing and sand boarding among others. With so many different nationalities and cultures at play in Dubai, most sports, activities and interests are covered.

Shopping

The emirate is teeming with shopping malls and each mall reveals a different theme and experience. The sprawling expanse of the malls, the innovative architecture, the designer boutiques, top brands, vast product range from haute couture to the latest gadgets and gizmos and an endless choice of restaurants and cafes allow visitors the option of passing an entire day within the premises of a single shopping complex. The Dubai shopping scene offers something for everyone. Apart from competitively priced electronic products, watches, cameras and other international items, popular traditional gifts include Arabic coffee pots; silver and brass swords and "khunjars" (Arabic curved daggers); prayer beads; soapstone figures; coasters and other items decorated with lapis lazuli, turquoise, malachite and other semi–precious stones; marble goblets; silver antique jewellery from Oman and Yemen, as well as locally made items; brass and silver work; silver and wooden dhows; Persian carpets and cotton dhurries (oblong floor coverings) and a multitude of other ethnic items.

Dubai is a city that offers rare opportunities to experience local and ethnic cuisine from almost every region in the world for those who enjoy good food and a great dining experience. Standards of international cuisine in Dubai are high and the choice is diverse.

As Dubai has grown from a small town into a bustling city, so has the nightlife scene. Most 3 to 5 star hotels have bars and nightclubs for those interested in the nightlife.
