Hotels in Dubai
Dubai is one of the most dynamic destinations in the world. An incredible destination with some of the world’s most amazing hotels such as the Burj Al Arab (which is built in to the sea), Dubai, Atlantis The Palm, and The Jumeirah Beach. Dubai is the perfect destination for a winter sunshine break with plenty of sun, sand, sea and shopping. There are numerous large, modern malls with famous retail brands. At The Kempinski Mall of The Emeirates there is an indoor ski slope if you fancy sloping off from the shopping ! At The Dubai Mall a huge aquarium, and waterfall bring a calming atmosphere to the shopping experience. Soak up the rays and keep cool at one of the two fantastic water parks - Wild Wadi Water Park at Jumeirah Beach, or the Atlantis Water Park at the Atlantis Hotel.
Dubai is a huge city with different areas including: Jumeirah, Festival City, Sheikh Zayed Road, Deira City, Dubai Creek and Dubai Media City. An emerging, state of the art, transportation system is linking these areas so tourists are less reliant on taxis. These trains, similar to the ones operating in Thailand and Malaysia are clean, cheap, reliable and air conditioned.
For an alternative to the frenetic, but fun, pace of Dubai, one try one of the other emirates such as Ajman or Fujeirah. The United Arab Emirates have some of the world’s greatest hotels.
Dubai was formed as recently as 1971 and has well and truly made its mark with some of the most ambitious building projects on the planet. The Palm, and The World have been built out to sea. The Burj Dubai is the tallest building in the World. The United Arab Emirates is a Muslim country and visitors should of course respect local culture and customs. Dubai is a destination of diverse nationalities and cultures - Most of the restaurants are “dry”, however the Western hotels will serve alcohol. The Madinat Hotel is a fantastic place to eat with International cuisine, a riverside setting, alcohol available if required, and a view of the Burj Al Arab hotel.
A favourite with many tourists is the Friday Brunch – all you can eat and drink buffets in some of the hotels around Dubai.
Dubai is a must-see destination and perfect for a luxury holiday.
