Visiting Dubai

Dubai, now both a global city and a beautiful holiday attraction, is drawing in more tourists and holidaymakers as a result of the country's large construction projects.

Built on an artificicial island in the ocean, the worlds only seven star hotel opened in 2008 becoming Dubai's biggest landmark.

Dubai would make the perfect holiday for all the family.

For those who love adventure, Dubai has its own desert safari where you can experience Dubai's culture, dress up into Burkas, get free henna tattoos, indulge in the exotic cuisine from the desert BBQ, ride a camel and take a ride in a 4x4 van as its swoops over the hilly sands. All followed by belly dance lessons within an Arabian setting.

Sight-seers would love different kinds of beautifully built Mosques, the palaces, the 7 star hotel built on a man made island in the sea, along with the worlds tallest building.

And after that, there's that gorgeous blue sea to relax by and soak in that magical sun at the countries numerous beaches.

Although, this is one place I'd love to visit again, I would only recommend short stays of 4 days, that's more than enough time to do everything. Also remember, Thursday and Fridays are like our Saturdays and Sundays; weekends. Everything remains shut for these two days as it is their official holiday.
