About Dubai

Dubai is the fabulous capital city of the United Arab Emirates, and the second largest of the seven Emirates. Situated on the south-east of the Persian Gulf, the 'City of Gold' oozes luxury, wealth, and extravagance. Unlike any other city in the world, this international and cosmopolitan city has an overwhelmingly modern feel mixed with the traditions of the arabic nations. This perfect and contemporary city is constructed on the edge of the desert and is overwhelming hot throughout the year. Dive into the refreshing air-conditioning which is standard across the city, or stretch out on one of the sparkling artificial white sand beaches by the sea.

Be amazed by the modern architecture, including the man-made Palm Islands stretching out into the Gulf, the luxury 7-star Burj al Arab, and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa - extraordinary constructions that give the city unquestionable style. Head to the area of Bur Dubai for a taste of old Dubai, and see traditional historic buildings, or the Sheikh Zayed Road for more examples of stunning architecture. For leisure and relaxation visit Jumeira and Satwa for glamourous malls, culture, and beaches.

One of the best shopping destinations in the world, Dubai is the place to shop! With dazzling options such as the Dubai Mall and the Gold Souk, the city boasts more than 70 shopping malls in total, so attack with your credit card at the ready. A modern city that feels like its not on this planet - Dubai is not a place that will be forgotten quickly.
