- Dubai International Airport, United Arab Emirates, Asia
Unlike other emirate cities, oil is not quite the absolute economic driving force, with other sectors such as IT as well as finance being relatively big business here. It is also very relaxed and tourists can access alcohol, and the dress code is fairly relaxed, although some respect is required, particularly at sites of religious significance. It really is a city which almost pulsates with a vibrancy which is almost contagious and you will feel its energy and the sense of a 21st Century City, which is steeped in Islamic culture, but has embraced the modern day, with all the advantages that can bring. There are many things to do in Dubai, such as visiting the Dubai World Trade Centre, the Museum or venturing out to a Bedouin Village. Souks, beaches, internationally renowned golf facilities as well as the glorious sunshine and relaxed attitude, make this a dream destination. Why not try riding an Arabian horse along the beach as the sun sets across the endless horizon, stretching out to the Persian Gulf? Truly amazing experiences can be had here and yet despite the luxury to be had, it does not cost the earth to fly here. The duty free alone is quite spectacular and enjoys a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the world. Dubai can also be a great stopping off' place en route to or from other destinations, with its prime location in the Arab emirates, it is a real bridge between east and west, so gives you access to other local emirate states as well as the far east, so why not include Dubai as a stop over and re-charge your batteries while you are travelling between the far east and Europe. It really is a cultural eye opener and a place you will never forget. It really will stay in your heart and give you many memories of a city which is fast, furious, but also gentle, friendly and very relaxed. So just indulge yourself and enjoy all that Dubai has to offer.
