Dubai Vacation Guide

Dubai is located within the Gulf States and is the second largest of the United Arab Emirates. Despite being right in the centre of this oil rich area, Dubai’s revenue from oil accounts for only 6% of its gross domestic product. However, Dubai is hugely innovative and successful in construction and development in various industries and is a great example of progress. Dubai has developed itself into a worldwide attraction in that it has burgeoned into a spectacular modern city from what was once a small desert port.

Dubai was a late developer and didn’t establish itself as a large fishing port until the early nineteenth century. However, the city really started to grow tremendously during the seventies.  Due to the interest from foreigner traders, Dubai has successfully established itself with the international commerce market and now relies less on oil.

Remember, Dubai is a strict muslim society so be prepared to take fashion wear that covers your body if you are a woman, and for guys, long trousers and shirtsleeves are best. Poolside and in the sea, bather are fine, but keep modestly dressed on other occasions.

Sights and attractions

The buildings are the most spectacular features to see in Dubai. Also, check out The Dubai museum as it provides a great introductory knowledge on the Emirates. The recently developed Palm Island is a man made complex that from the air appears as a palm tree. Another outstanding project that is currently being developed as Dubai is The World. This is a series of man made islands that are specifically shaped and sized to form and resemble the World from an aerial view.

Eating and Drinking

The city of Dubai is renowned for its impressive range of international cuisine. Restaurants are the most common option of dining choice although the prices are a bit high. There are plenty of pubs, bars and entertainment areas for those looking for some late night fun.

Shopping

If you like shopping and are heading for Dubai then you are going to the right place. Shopping is one of the most common excuses to visit this desert city. You can buy just about anything in Dubai and much of it is at bargain prices.

Dubai Holiday Apartments

Visiting Dubai on a budget? Traveling with a family? Or do you simply prefer the convenience that an apartment can offer you instead of a hotel room? Dubai Holiday Apartments are the ideal way for you to enjoy your Dubai holiday.

Located in mainly residential areas of Dubai within easy access to the main roads, grocery stores, restaurants and malls, holiday apartments are the alternative solution to hotel stays and as good as luxury villas in Morocco.

While more fitting with budget requirements, these apartments offer you the chance to truly live like and enjoy the unique Dubai lifestyle that the city has to offer. Most holiday apartments come fully equipped with amenities from furniture to cutlery. Please check with your booking agent for further details on what your apartment would offer you.

In addition, most apartments have facilities available alike to hotels. They offer fully equipped gymnasiums, swimming pool, steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi facilities. These facilities depend on the building and again, you must check exactly what will be available for your use with your booking agent.

If you are a property owner in Dubai, you can also lease your property out through reputable real estate agents on a short term basis. Instead of your property sitting idly, it will be generating some revenue for you – without you lifting a finger.
