 Dubai
Dubai has something for everyone,
from vacationers seeking a relaxing break
away from the pressures of work, to active
tourists looking for a new, exciting experience.
The emirate is an international conference,
exhibition, and leisure travel destination...
Lying on the calm, blue waters of the southern
Gulf and flanked by majestic desert, Dubai
offers year-round sunshine and five-star luxury
along with the adventure of a unique Arabian
experience...
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, brightly dressed
children, camel and goat herds, ancient windtowers,
dusty Bedouin villages, lush oases and palm
groves, and dramatic sunsets.
Families will enjoy the child- friendly parks
and playgrounds. Driving in the desert, mountains
or river beds (wadis) is a favorite weekend
pastime for many people in the Emirates. There
are numerous sites for camping and picnicking.
Shopping for traditional Middle Eastern gifts
is easy and enjoyable. Offerings include rugs,
silverware, jewelry, brass, inlaid rosewood
furniture and much more.
Dubai is a modern city without any of the
negative aspects often associated with city
life, such as air pollution, traffic jams,
poverty or crime. It is truly a vacation paradise!
