A PLACE FOR BOTH WORK AND PLAY

Dubai
A  Dream  Holiday  Location
Situated  on  the  Persian  Gulf, party surrounded  by  desert,  Dubai  is a city  of opportunity  both for business  people and tourists. Since the formation of the Arab Emirates back  in  the  1970s,  Dubay has  become a  major commercial  centre in the  Middle  East,  and has become home to a fascinating multi- cultural  population  of  people of both  Eastern  and Western origin. Historically  significant due to its position  on  the  trade  route to India,  Dubai is still  an important  port. however, people nowadays come to dubai for a variety  of reasons, often combining business  with pleasure in a city that offers a wide diversity  of entertainment  and high quality  accommodation.

Dubai has an excellent climate all  year, making it a  perfect destination  for tourists  in search of sunshine, fun and relaxation. Its white sandy  beaches  and  crystal waters provide the ideal setting  for those who want to escape  the cold, dark northern winters. As well as lazing  in the  sun, there  are many water  sports, such as diving  and sailing, to prevent anyone from becoming bored. What' s more, those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle  of the city can experience  safari and camel treks across  the  vast  Arabian  Desert, an  area  completely  undisturbed  by  man.

For winter sports enthusiasts, Dubai even has a  snow park,  a huge sports complex with real snow. Here  it  is possible  to practice  all  kinds  of  snow sports such  as skiing  and snowboarding, and there  are facilities  for beginners  as  well  as  more advanced winter sports  enthusiasts.  It also gives non- skiers or families  with young  children  a chance to  play  in  the snow, go tobogganing  and explore  an  ice cave. It  is difficult  to  imagine  that  snow never  melts in  the  middle  of  the  desert, but  it seems that  in Dubai, anything  is possible. 

There  are  many  types  of hotels  in  the  city, including  the  tallest  hotel  in  the  world  situated  on  its  own  exclusive  island. Currently under construction  is  the  largest  hotel in  the  world  which will  have  over  6000  rooms  on  completion. Many  of  Dubai's hotels have first class  restaurants  and health spas and  are all  famous  for  their  excellent  service. In  fact, Dubai is the only  city in  the  world  with  a  seven  star  hotel! Another  adventurous project  is  that  of  a  revolving  skyscraper  which, when  finished, will  make  a  complete  360  degree  turn  once  a  week,  ensuring  the  people  living  in  its 200  apartments  never  become  tired  of  their  view!

As  well  as  its  impressive  architecture, business  opportunities  and  entertainment, Dubai has  long been  famous  for  its  tax- free goods. To accommodate  the  tastes  of  even  the  most  discriminating  buyer, there  are  many  luxurious boutigues  and  shopping  malls, offering  everything  from  designer  clothes  to  perfume  and  jewellery, all  at  attractive  prices. For  a  more  authentic  experience, there  is  the  gold bazaar  where  prices  are not fixed, so customers  can argue  about  the  price. Such  bargaining  is certainly  good  fun! Dubai, it seems, has so much variety  to offer  that  everyone  who visits  it will  feel  richer  for  the experience.
