Dubai City Guide

Introduction

Dubai is the fastest growing city on earth with an abundance of remarkable sights and exotic experiences to offer. This innovative destination is home to the largest man-made harbour in the world and the Middle East’s first indoor ski slope!

The city is split into two by a long creek; taking a water taxi is a great way to take in the science-fiction skyscrapers .There isn't much here that isn't gleaming new! Dubai has a lot to offer visitors with shopping, day-trips, entertainment, dining and disco dancing, desert safaris and an abundance of distinctly Arab sensations that ensure your experience in Dubai will be unforgettable.

While the super-modern architecture doesn’t reflect traditional Arabic and Bedouin life in Dubai, Bur Dubai has substantial areas of old buildings, atmospheric alleyways and souks (markets). The areas surrounding the city consist of flat desert and sabkha (salt-flat); consequently   visitors to Dubai will find a land of startling contrasts, from never-ending stretches of desert to rocky mountains and ultra-modern towns.
