Planning on going on a vacation? Consider Dubai. Experience its year-long cultural extravaganzas, spectacular sights and endless shopping possibilities. Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates on the coast of the Persian Gulf, and is considered the gateway to the Middle Eastern culture. Unlike most Muslim countries there, Dubai is open to the Western world and is thus rather tolerant of outside influences. To a visiting tourist, this translates to a view of Arab culture without losing touch with the familiar amenities of the West.
Dubai’s development in the recent decades has been so spectacular that your best companion in exploring the emirate is a map. With it you can roam around the city and surroundings free from the fetters of a conducted tour, at the same time feeling the excitement of adventure and discovery. While a simple map may not show the interesting sites beyond the general lay-out of the city, there is always the Internet to guide you where to go
And in Dubai there is almost an unending parade of what to see and visit. There is the enclosed winter wonderland where you can -incredibly– ski on real snow; the desert where you can go on an exploration safari on four-wheel-drive vehicles; there are the man-made islands shaped like palms when viewed from the air, or the sail-shaped Dubai Tower, erstwhile the highest building in the world.
Dining in the Sundowner Dune will also show you the pride and heritage of Dubai via the superb cultural performances presented almost all the time, and of course there are the endlessly sunny sandy beaches where you can frolic and sunbathe without fear. All resorts are easily reachable from hotels famous for luxurious accommodations and impeccable service.
Best of all is the shopping. Dubai as the crossroads of Western and Arab worlds in the Peninsula is also a melting pot of many cultures and peoples. Europeans, Asians, Africans, Slavics and Hispanics plus a lot more mix and mingle in Dubai in work and play, creating a plethora of influences and interests business and enterprise quickly took advantage of. Dubai therefore has virtually all the products of the Middle Eastern, Asian and Western cultures, ranging from handcarved ivory figures to luxury cars, from jeweled ceremonial swords and daggers to clothes as fashionable as Paris and New York, from exotic Asian foods to Mediterranean olives, spices and even wines. There is, naturally, the gold jewelry crafted in the traditional methods as well as pearls from the Gulf, collected by divers who did the trade through generations. Dubai is known as the shopping paradise in the Middle East.
So you want to go on a vacation? Try Dubai, and enjoy the excitement of exploring new sights and doing things infinitely different from the ordinary. Visit a place where winter and summer coexist at the same time; where the sun, sand and sea are always present to cater to your whims; where luxury and service is standard, and where shopping goes beyond pleasure, to nirvana. A Dubai vacation is something unforgettable: it is golden adventure.
