Warm weather and sunny beaches overlooking the Persian Gulf are what many western tourists dream of. While there are certain rules to be followed on the beaches, a relatively free environment makes strolling and sunbathing at the beachfront a wonderful experience. Many beaches are owned by sea-facing hotels while a few are public. Mamzer is the most popular public beach, followed by Jumeirah Beach Park, located on the Beach Road in the south-western end. Whichever beach you head to, it is guaranteed you will have fun like never before amidst enthusiastic crowds of sun bathers, strollers, cyclists and surfers. Let the sun tan begin! 3. Hospitality Dubai’s unmatched hospitality sector is perhaps one of the biggest draws for visitors. Along with fun vacationing activities, the city promises to offer the best, most luxurious and extravagant stays in its state-of-the-art accommodation facilities. The beautiful Burj Al Arab graces the city’s southwestern, sea-facing end. The array of the luxuries include private butlers and gold iPads upon check-in, a wholesome Talise Fitness and training package, helicopter service to arrive at the hotel and a private yacht service. And the list of incredible hospitalities doesn’t end here, as a fleet of luxury cars, chauffeur services, kids play club, recreational aquapark and many more are part of the package too. While a number of other five-star hotels are present in Dubai too, the authorities continue to strive to plan and develop ways to make the visitors’ stay in Dubai more comfortable than you can imagine. 2. Shopping Dubai is any woman’s shopping dream turned real. From traditional spice and rug markets to luxury offerings fit for kings, Dubai has something for every wallet size. Electronics, designer labels, clothing and whatnot, the city truly is a haven for shopaholics. The world’s largest shopping center, The Dubai Mall, is part of the Downtown complex in the center of the city. Its lets around 635 retailers exhibit their merchandise under one roof. Need we say more? Other areas like Deira Gold Souk, Global Village, Bur Dubai Souk and Karama Shopping Centre attract all kind of shoppers. All of these malls house elaborate food and beverage options, so freshening up after a day’s shopping is as simple as A B C. Facilities like giant aquariums, theme parks and kids’ play areas also offer exciting outlets for kids getting bored with their parents’ buying sprees. The city also hosts a month-long shopping festival starting January every year. The internationally acclaimed festival includes concerts, fashion shows and even outdoor sport events, all the more reason for people to visit this city. 1. Adventures Dubai’s Desert Safari might be renowned globally, but it certainly isn’t the only adventure the city has to offer. With incredible arenas for sea kayaking, kayakers can explore the lush mangroves in the western end, and along the calm waves of Khor Kalba on the east coast, canoeists can enjoy an up close look at local wildlife, white-collared kingfishers and socotra cormorants. In Dubai, adventures take the exotic road. Alongside desert camping, sea kayaking and skydiving, there are reef- and wreck-diving, 24 carat gold-leaf facials and Krug sundowners also. Off-roading is another common adventure where tourists experience thrilling dune bashing while skidding up and tearing down the gravel plains and wadi beds. Kite surfing is also a favored leisure activity along the city coastline. Cruises in the Arabian Gulf also promise the most breathtaking views of the UAE from the sea. An epitome of fun, Dubai is a must-visit place for everyone. The weather is hospitable, friendly and warm and so are the people.
