Dubai – The Dream Holiday Destination

Dubai has an eclectic mix of luxury, modernity and tradition that is vastly unlike any other city of the world and it is due to this that Dubai is one of the dream holiday destinations for people across the globe.  The location of the city itself is perfect because it is situated halfway between Europe, Africa and Asia, and can be reached from any city within a few hours or with an overnight flight.

Whether it is shopping, a luxurious holiday or high-powered business moves, Dubai is all of this and more, rolled into one.  The dazzling economic growth of Dubai has ensured that tourists get to experience not just the natural beauty of the city but can also enjoy luxury and style in glitzy and opulent shopping malls that are almost like mini towns.

A holiday in Dubai means a kaleidoscope of experiences such as the lively bustle of the souks, sandy white beaches, dusty villages, rugged mountains and the tranquil desert.  The city also offers a great choice of hotels, and a tourist can choose from eminently affordable lodgings to super luxury seven-star hotels all in the same stretch of the city.  The man made, awe-inspiring Palm Jumeriah Island never ceases to amaze people when flying in and out of the city.

For those in love with the yellow metal, Dubai is also known as the ‘City of Gold’ because of the sheer number of gold stores located at the gold souk.  The Dubai Creek splits the city into two major areas with Bur Dubai located in the south and Deira in the north. Each offers a wide range of contrasting cultures with ultra modern shopping malls on the one side and lively souks on the other.  For a starry, starry night (though without Don Mclean), a desert safari and a night of camping in the middle of the desert is strongly recommended.
