| Over the past few decades, the export of oil has transformed the Emirates into one of the richest and most modern countries of the world. Dubai is the second largest of the seven emirates, which make up the United Arab Emirates and ranks as the country’s leading commercial centre.
Known in the region as ‘the city of merchants’, Dubai has always welcomed traders to its shores for generations. Today, this tradition of courtesy and hospitality lives on. Dubai’s streets are clean and safe, and travelers can enjoy the city’s warmth and friendliness.
Dubai has something for everyone, from holiday makers seeking a relaxing break away from crowds, to active tourists looking for a new, exciting experience. The emirate is also rapidly emerging as an international conference, exhibition and incentive destination.
Dubai has superb sports, shopping, dining and entertainment facilities. Likewise, its rapidly developing tourism sector is well equipped to cater to the diverse needs of individual travelers, families or incentive groups.
Dubai has established a legendary reputation for the fabulous gold available in the many “gold souqs” that dazzle the senses. Some people refer to the Gold Souqs as the very heart of Arabia. No visit to Dubai would be complete without a purchase of a gold item from one of the souqs of Deira. The choice is breathtaking, the quality superb and the variety of articles extraordinary. Whether you wish to purchase a necklace, a bracelet, a ring or earrings, in virtually any style your heart desires, you will most certainly be able to find something to satisfy both your taste and purse.
During the city tour, you will experience the modern and ancient charms. Old wind towers rank next to modern glass buildings into the sky. Dhows like hundred years ago cruise on the creek. You will also visit The Jumeirah mosque, the camel race track, Zabeel, Dubai Museum, Spice and Gold souq.
