Dubai is an ever-changing and dynamic global city that beacons to all travellers across the globe. It has culture, history, shopping malls, adventure sports, world-class food scene and ostentatiously global landmarks. There are very few cities in Middle East tour packages that can claim mass appeal as Dubai. Possibly, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Jerusalem or Oman can. But, none does it in style like Dubai.

Global presence

Dubai skyline glitters with global skyscrapers at night. But, this superfast city is blooming at night with the global “Michelin Star” restaurants, world-class entertainment events and wild parties at night clubs and lounges. Dubai city life can revolve around the super-huge shopping malls or the mega-sports events.

You can buy gold, clothes, branded accessories, pashminas, pearls, sporting goods, electronic gadgets, Arabian souvenirs, spices, fabrics, carpets, designer goods and perfumes. You can enjoy night safari, camel racing, aerial tours, Dubai cruises, dune driving, sand skiing, fishing, golf, amusement park and water park rides, ice skating, hot air balloon ride, paragliding, sky ...
... diving and scuba diving.

Honestly, the numbers of sports centres, entertainment centres, restaurants and shopping malls in Dubai are really long and a bit too much for quick holiday. But, possibility of such a vast numbers of experiences is so electrifying. Core theme of any international travel to Dubai is that there isn’t enough time.

Local pulse

Historical Dubai is a world apart. Situated in Old Dubai, schools, museums, mosques, schools and souks (old time marketplaces) reflect the true ethos of Middle Eastern life. This pre-modernization Dubai is a refreshing change from the glitter and frenzy. The Middle Eastern architecture, cuisine, art and traditions run deep in this part of town. Emarati culture and cuisine convey the royal prowess of the ancient Dubai but it is the blend of Iraqi, Indian and other communities in this region that is true heritage of Dubai. It may not be obvious in modern city. Yet, it is the true cultural legacy and beauty of this city. It has this undeniable charisma about it that makes it more special part of Dubai holiday.

This is what sets Dubai apart, you know. It is not one of the Middle Eastern cities. It is the crowning glory of Middle East tour packages. The diverse experiences awaiting the travellers create a world-class holiday experience for traveller from every continent in the world. Local culture, cuisine and spirit is not the heart of this holiday, it is really awesome “part” of it.
