Eating
Dining in Dubai is quite cheap and
their traditional cuisine has Arabic influences, which provides some
very tasty dishes. Shawrama is chicken or lamb that is mixed with local
made pickle and tomatoes with garlic and fries, it is then wrapped up
inside a roti similar to a naan bread (which is served with most Arabic
meals). This is along with Falafel, which is made from chick peas and
many spices and is then deep fried similar to French fries, they are
delicious. In Dubai you will also find many international food outlets
like McDonald's, as well as Indian and other international food
restaurants, which are readily available. While you're in Dubai try the
traditional dishes though, you won't be disappointed and once tried you
will be back for more.
Beaches
Palm Beach
is the most famous and pristine beach in Dubai: it has a wealth of water
sports like scuba diving and sailing and there are beach activities on
offer too. With all year round sunshine, it's one of the best countries
to visit throughout the year, which is ideal for those wanting to swim
in the warm waters and soak up the sun at anytime of the year.
Shopping
Shopping
in Dubai is very fulfilling, with high street and designer stores and
massive malls to keep you busy shopping for days on end. If you want to
create a piece of jewellery to your own design then you can have your
masterpiece created for you before your holiday ends in many of the fine
jewellery stores at the gold souk. There are so many choices of
traditional carpets and fine art that your head will be spinning with
delight and you'll be unable to sleep deciding which one you will take
back home with you. The open markets are full of crafts and tourist
souvenirs, so there is something to suit everyone's pocket.
Sightseeing
You
will be amazed at the fabulous luxury hotels in Dubai: these alone will
keep you busy sightseeing, but if you have had enough of these then try
the Golden City Tour, exploring the some of the historical sites like
the picturesque palace and the famous Burj Al Arab, the world's most
luxury hotel that looks like a gigantic shiny sail. If you are looking
to experience some of Dubai heritage then a tour to Majlis Al Ghoraifa
is for you, where you will witness some old traditions come alive. Then
you can take a water boat ride over to Sheikh Saeed House, that houses
some very old stamps, coins and photograph collections. Dubai is an ever
growing city and this can be seen all over the city with the amount of
construction work and fabulous buildings being created each year; every
time you visit Dubai you will be sure to notice the constant changes to
this country. The desert tours in a 4x4 jeep are fantastic, driving over
the large sand dunes in the Hatta Desert and on to the Hajar mountains.
Or, for those wanting a more authentic journey in the desert, take a
ride on the 'ships of the desert' (camels) over the dunes at dusk, it's a
truly amazing experience.
