What To See And Do In Dubai
By Gabriel Adams

Dubai, a relatively new tourist destination, is basically a
desert city with excellent infrastructure and superb tourist
amenities. Its liberal policies as well as its convenient
location just three hours away from most Asian countries and
five hours away from Europe, make Dubai very popular as a
short-break destination for tourists from both countries that
are looking for exciting shopping, fine dining, great partying
and a host of unique sporting events.

months, with temperatures touching 50 degrees Celsius from May
to September, it is a great place to visit during the more
pleasant months of September to April. 

As a prerequisite to obtaining a tourist visa to Dubai, your
passport should be valid for a minimum of six months before your
arrival. Individuals who intend to spend less than thirty days
in the United Arab Emirates may apply for a tourist visa,
whereas visit visas are issued to those who intend spending more
than 30 days in the country.

Dubai, a city of superlatives, is home to the tallest, highest,
largest and fastest. It is home to Burj Dubai, which upon
completion in 2008 will be the tallest building in the world,
surpassing the Taipei 101 in Taiwan.

Dubai offers visitors a host of unique experiences including
the exciting Dune Bashing, thrilling hot air balloon rides,
golfing or for something entirely different- sand golfing.
Visitors to Dubai can experience the extreme as they go skiing
and snowboarding in the large, specially built snow skiing
center or go sand-skiing and sand boarding in the hot desert
sands. Wild Wadi, a water amusement park, in the heart of the
city is a great place for kids and adults alike. The Overnight
Desert safari is as different but just as exciting as the
Morning Desert safari. The Dubai Dhow Cruise takes you sailing
down the Dubai Creek while aboard a wooden dhow that is
traditionally decorated. Marvel at the major landmarks that are
beautifully lit up at night as you take a midnight cruise for a
completely different experience. 

With so much to see and do in Dubai, maybe you’d need much more
than just a short break after all.
