dubai city holidaysour hotels in dubai cityDubai City is only 20 minutes away from the International Airport and 30 minutes away from the spectacular 8 mile soft sands stretch of Jumeirah Beach. Dubai’s skyline is forever changing as developments continue at a rapid pace and shows no signs of slowing down. Meanwhile Burj Dubai is on its way to claim the title of tallest building in the world on completion in 2009, which will include the world’s first Armani Hotel. Despite the constant development Dubai has global visitors and they have great reasons too; with unbeatable shopping, fantastic hotels, cleanest of beaches and everything from skiing in the world’s biggest indoor ski slope to quad biking, the variety of things to do is endless. As shopping is one of Dubai’s favourite past times you will soon get the shopping bug if you don’t have it already. With every taste and every budget in mind Dubai’s malls do not disappoint for those who want to do some serious shopping. With malls at every corner and everything you’ll need under one air conditioned roof it makes finding those bargains so much easier. The best value items are gold and jewellery while everyday items such as clothes food and furniture are also affordable. Deira City Centre is a favourite amongst the locals, home to over 280 outlets including all the big retail names, brand restaurants, entertainment centre and also a cinema complex which is a great place for families to enjoy a fun packed day out. Mall of the Emirates takes a day out for shopping to the next level. It’s provides a huge range of leisure and entertainment options but its biggest claim to fame is the Middle East’s first indoor ski slope, Ski Dubai. Away from shopping Dubai has a growing nightlife which is confined to clubs and bars in hotels due to liquor laws. Nightclubs are varied and plentiful; most are clearly divided into themes from the International to Arabic to Latin American so you can sample a different club scene everyday of the week. On occasions hotels import talented acts for a season or an event, so if you crave live entertainment keep an eye on the local listings. Dubai city has a lot to offer with contrasting eras of the Dubai’s recent past alongside the gleaming new developments. Amongst the glamour the past is captured beautifully in the Dubai Museum – a bargain at three Dirhams. Originally operating as a Fort protecting the city from invasion the centuries old building has served many purposes from palace to prison to finally museum. It tells the journey of Dubai’s origins to its present day status, visitors can expect galleries depicting scenes from the Creek, traditional Arab houses, desert life and Souk atmosphere. The old Dubai seems untouched in the Bastikaya area; visitors can expect to find old houses with wind towers which were traditionally used for air-conditioning. fujairah holidaysour hotels in fujairahYoungest of the seven states that make up the Emirates, Fujairah lies on the Eastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, with the Indian Ocean coast and framed by the Hajar Mountains. Although not as developed as Dubai and lets face it Dubai is in a league of its own, Fujairah offers visitors a different sort of appeal. Fujairah’s unspoiled natural beauty is vast and diverse visitors can expect to see waterfalls, Hajar Mountains, oasis’s and long exquisite stretches of beach, comfortable mix of open land and sea. Along the coastline survive ancient Arabian castles which are lined by palm trees cascading the Indian Ocean. Local attractions include Ain Al Madhab Gardens located at the foot of the Hajar Mountains, which are fed by mineral springs, the warm sulphuric water is used in two swimming pools- one for men one for women. Other than a mineral spa the gardens feature a apark area, ruins of the Fujairah Fort and Heritage Village. Fujairah Museum, Bidya Mosque UAE’s oldest site of worship is humble in its architectural design compared to the modern rendition of Jumeirah Mosque found in Dubai. jebel ali freeport holidaysour hotels in jebel ali freeportDubai is a wealthy, multicultural, cosmopolitan city. For over six centuries, Dubai has been famous as a trading centre, with its creek and a safe haven for merchant vessels.

It’s the most desirable address in Dubai, with its chic malls and coffee shops; it’s the place to be to experience the good life.
