Mini Travel Guide to DubaiAside from its sunshine, beaches and shopping malls, Dubai’s appeal lies in the fact that it offers some of the most luxurious resorts in the world. It does in fact claim to have one of the world’s few seven-star hotels. Designed to look like a billowing sail, the Burj Al Arab, is also one of Dubai's most iconic landmarks. The city state has an exciting skyline, punctuated by the Burj Khalifa, which at more than 800 metres is the tallest free-standing structure in the world. The observation deck on the 124th floor offers incredible views over the city. Another good way to get a feel for Dubai's desert setting is to take a hot-air balloon trip high above the coast and dunes in the early morning, or at sunset. Many visitors come to Dubai for the shopping, and while the many malls are favoured by tourists, a trip to Dubai's souks is a must for those wanting to experience a more traditional part of Dubai life. The glittering Gold Souk and aromatic Spice Souk are highlights. The beautiful Jumeirah Mosque is open to non-Muslims and tours are designed to increase cultural understanding and act as a catalyst for communication. |
