INTRODUCTION TO DUBAI


A unique destination for the discerning traveller, dynamic Dubai is where Arabia meets the West. One of the most sophisticated Emirates, it provides modern day comforts and a rich culture with long-established traditions. Pale sandy beaches lined with lavish hotels stretch along the Gulf coast, whilst traditional souks and superb shopping malls vie for trade and adventurers embark on desert safaris across the Arabian dunes. With year-round sunshine and a luxurious lifestyle, Dubai is sure to please.

Dubai is famous for its towering skylines, fabulous tax-free designer shopping and gorgeous beaches. But there’s more to this city than just bling. The gulf coast offers sports opportunities aplenty, including golf and windsurfing, while the region around Dubai is worth exploring for its arid desert landscape, ancient villages and the eastern rocky range of the Hajjar Mountains.

The city itself is where most people base themselves staying in holiday apartments in Dubai itself, or opting for hotels. Holiday villas in Dubai are another accommodation alternative, allowing you to choose to go self-catering. In Dubai you’ll find it’s easy to eat out, the standard and choice of restaurants is impressive although mostly being based in hotels, which are the only licensed places in the city. A beautiful holiday destination, Dubai does much to impress and persuade return visits.
