The liberal nature of Dubai, coupled with unprecedented investment and year round sunshine has turned the emirate into a popular tourist destination as well as an essential place to do business.
Dubai is the second largest Emirate in the United Arab Emirates and probably the most well known. Under the guidance of Shaikh Mohamad bin Rashid bin Maktoum, it has forged a reputation as one of the most important and vibrant cities in the Middle East.
Dubai’s cosmopolitan flavour is matched by the city’s many restaurants and entertainment venues, which provide a truly international array of choices for the visitor.
Regulations in the UAE are complicated and subject to change. Check with your local UAE Embassy or travel agent prior to leaving to be sure.
Dubai has a year round sunny climate with rain a very rare occurance, happening only a few times a year. The winter months (November to March) are the most suitable for tourists, with the weather averaging a pleasant 30C and humidity on the low side.
Dubai has something for everyone. From genteel activities in the sunshine to extreme sports and major professional events - all played out in some of the best sporting facilities in the world.
Dubai began life as a small fishing village. It expanded in the early 19th century when large numbers of the Bani Yas tribe settled there.
The population had to depend on the sea for their livelihood. It provided fish, pearls and trade. The hamlet soon turned into a small trading port based around the mouth of the Creek.
