The Sparkling City of Dubai

Mar-6-2009 By Christine

Dubai has become one of the most popular destinations in the world for both leisure and business travelers. Over the last decade the city has worked diligently to develop its reputation as the stellar destination in the Middle East. Located in the United Arab Emirates, the city, though surrounded by desert, is ideally situated on the coast of the Persian Gulf. The gorgeous beaches and man-made islands take full advantage of the region’s excellent climate and sparkling ocean waters.

The city is home to everything a tourist could desire: excellent five star hotels Dubai, incredible restaurants, countless malls and shopping centers, and a wide array of activities and attractions. The city has been expanding its presence in sports and the arts with major competitions and festivals serving to attract athletes, artists, and fans to this exciting city.

Dubai Creek divides the city into “Old” and “New” sections. Many visitors take a cruise on the Creek that highlights the many buildings and ships of Old Dubai’s rich history. The city has some beautiful mosques and museums that are worth a look as well as more modern attractions such as a water park and countless entertainment venues.

In addition to many things to see, Dubai offers more active visitors a wide array of recreational activities. The beach and ocean are ideal for swimming, sailing, diving, and deep sea fishing. Divers will find the coral reefs off the coast to be a magical marine world and there are several interesting shipwrecks to explore. On the other side of the city, desert safaris offer the chance to go “dune bashing.”

Those wanting a special experience can visit Dubai during its many cultural festivals and sporting events. The city is home to festivals featuring jazz, film, poetry, and literature. It also hosts major professional championships in golf, tennis, rugby, and thoroughbred horse racing.
