Dubai - the Heaven for Tourists

Dubai is the second largest of the emirates comprising the United Arab Emirates. Today, Dubai is a modern metropolis with a population of over 700,000. It offers its citizens the finest in modern comforts. It is known internationally as a premier tourist destination. 

Dubai has a seemingly endless variety of unique vacation opportunities! Some of the highlights are desert safaris, dune driving; exploring wadis (dry river beds) in four-wheel-drive vehicles; sand-skiing; moonlit Arabian desert barbecues, complete with traditional entertainment; camel racing, horse racing and falconry; cruises in wooden dhow on Dubai Creek or into the Gulf; exploration of the old city souks (markets) and creekside dhow quays. Photographic possibilities include traditional architecture; majestic mosques, magnificent palaces, camel and goat herds, ancient windtowers, dusty Bedouin villages, lush oases and palm groves, and dramatic sunsets. 

The best time of the year to visit Dubai is between November and April, when the weather is coolest. Ramadan, which takes place at a different time each year on the western calendar, is the Muslim month of fasting and is strictly adhered to throughout the UAE. That means that it's illegal, not to mention rude, to eat, drink or smoke in public from sunrise to sunset during your stay While Dubai's official language is Arabic, many people speak English, particularly those who are in business or commerce. 

Dubai is an incredible place to shop. You can explore everything from modern shopping malls to traditional souks to markets. As a result of Dubai's low custom duties, goods purchased in Dubai may be less expensive than goods purchased in other countries. For great shopping experiences, try to visit Bur Juman Centre and Al Ghurair Center.

Planning your holiday in Dubai, you have also to think about a place to stay. As it is among the best and most preferred tourist destinations, Dubai can offer you a great variety of places for accommodation. But having in mind the high standard in life there, you have to know that hotels in Dubai are mostly expensive. But if you are more persistent in searching, you will find also some places for accommodation in Dubai that your pocket will allow. To guarantee your stay for a chosen hotel in Dubai, it is better to make an online reservation in advance. So to sum up, I can say that Dubai is really the best place to visit if you want to enjoy luxury, quality and excellent service! If you have that chance, don’t hesitate anymore!
