Known as the “Pearl of the Arabian Gulf”, Dubai is one of the seven Emirates that form the United Arab Emirates, and is really a tale of two cities: Deira and Bur Dubai, which are divided by the Creek. This runs inland for about 6 miles and is Dubai’s main artery, along whose banks are found an eclectic mix of Arabian and post-modern architecture, as well as attractions to suit all tastes. Dubai is world renowned for its unrivalled shopping facilities, from the vast Aladdin’s cave of the souks and markets where haggling is practically a must, to the sophisticated shopping malls and designer boutiques. Discover the history of this fascinating land at the museum of the Al Fahidi Fort; spend a day at the races (horses or camels!); go on a four wheel drive desert safari; indulge yourself at one of the city’s world class golf courses, or take the family for a day out at Wild Wadi, the world’s most technologically advanced water theme park. Dubai is definitely a magical land offering something for everybody.
