Dubai Holidays
Dubai holidays are synonymous with experiencing the luxe, style and wealth of the Arabian Gulf's most popular city. Thanks to the oil industry, Dubai has rapidly become a tourist hotspot and a cheap destination for a luxurious all-inclusive holiday. A city who is home to over 70 shopping malls, Burj Khalifa - the world's tallest building, and the Burj al Arab - the world's reported highest starred hotel just has to be seen to be believed. Flying in and out of Dubai be sure to look out for the the famous Palm Island.
The climate, as you would imagine, is hot and therefore, year round holidays are aplenty. The sand dunes make for an impressive backdrop amongst the wealthy and modern architecture. Shopping is a big event in Dubai shopping malls and souks everywhere you turn. The infamous Gold Souk allows Dubai to live up to its name as 'The City of Gold'. Nightlife in Dubai is primarily in the hotels due to liquor licensing but nightlife is far from dull and the hotel bars will have you believing you are at one with the rich and famous.
Sports is a big deal in Dubai. Major sporting events head to Dubai so there is plenty of scope for catching a big event or even spotting some sports stars. Most of the hotels in Dubai offer the chance to flex your watersports muscles so a great opportunity to keep kids occupied if you are on holiday in Dubai. Keep an eye out for dolphins, dugongs and whales too as the marine life around Dubai is pretty electic.
Dubai Hot Spots
Deira - On the North side of the creek in Dubai City is Deira, an old financial centre which is now shopping mall and food hall heaven.
Bur Dubai - Faces Deira on the other side of the creek, Bur Dubai is the historical centre of Dubai and home to many sights and tourist attractions.
Jumeirah Beach - the beach, waterpark, hotel bars and restaurants, and views of the Burj al Arab make the Jumeirah Beach one of the top hotels in Dubai.
Dubai Desert - Jump in a 4x4 and head in to the desert to experience the thrills of the sand-dunes, camels and traditional Arabic cuisine.
Jebel Ali - 30 mins outside of Dubai City, Jebel Ali is a golf club and resort to match the luxury of Dubai City but slightly out of town so you can enjoy the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. With more bars and restaurants than you can feasibly try in a week, it's possible you would never need to leave the resort.
