Dubia Travel Guide

Shiek Mohammed

Dubai attracts several million tourists each year with festive lifestyle, with its sunny skies, blue sea and 5-star services and amenities. Vacationing in Dubai is going to be a fantasy trip as it allows you to forget all the stresses of the world. Dubai is known as the "City of Gold". There are literally millions of ways to spend your time in Dubai. Dubai, one of the seven emirates is primarily known as the premier tourist destination in the region. Dubai beaches are a wonderful place for your vacations. With its rich tradition and modern cosmopolitan culture, Dubai absolutely combines the best of the modern world with the warmth of traditional Arabian hospitality. The city is also famous for its large number of beaches and because of this reason numerous shopping centers, cafes, & restaurants have build close to them. Dubai is also famous as tourist heaven. Vacations in Dubai offer numerous astonishing attractions. The Burj Al Arab is known as a Dubai’s icon. In addition to good multi-ethnic restaurants, Dubai has best up-market resort accommodation including hotels that are great for families. Dubai has two outstanding attractions: the sea and the desert. You will have abundance of opportunities ranging from gleaming skyscrapers to old trading dhows. The Dubai Museum is housed within the beautifully restored Al Fahidi Fort. Deira which lie on opposite sides of the water has numerous attractions such as the historic quarter of Bastakia, old souks and enclosed marketplaces. Beach parks with in the city offers a wide range of recreational and entertainment facilities to its visitors. Jumeirah Beach is the most famous and popular beach in Dubai. Beaches in Dubai offers you a bulk of spare time activities such as: beach volleyball, jet skiing, deep-sea fishing, and so many other water sports.

Dubai is the second richest — behind Abu Dhabi — of the seven emirates comprising the United Arab Emirates that stretch along a narrow crescent between Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf. It has surprisingly little oil, though. So little, in fact, that production made up only 6 percent of Dubai's gross national product last year, a figure that will continue to decline until the oil wells run dry within a decade. Dubai relies instead on free trade, heavy corporate investment — it has no taxes (a prime draw for Halliburton's move here) — and tourism.

This is where sports fit into the overall vision for Dubai as seen by Sheikh Mohammed.

According to Rashid Al Kamali of the Dubai Sports Council, "the goal is to use sport as a platform to attract global exposure for Dubai." It already has. Television cameras bring Dubai into living rooms around the world via the annual Desert Classic golf tournament (you probably saw Tiger Woods teeing off against the city skyline in February), the Dubai Duty Free tennis tournament (maybe you saw Andre Agassi and Roger Federer playing on the helipad atop the 1,000-foot high Burj Al Arab hotel) and, of course, the World Cup horse race.

This is the Helipad he took the shot from !
