The Many Attractions of Dubai
Posted on May 11, 2009 under Travel | No CommentDubai, one of the United Arab Emirates, is a sea-level city on the Persian Gulf, with a multitude of attractions. Not the least of these, the industry of the luxury hotel. Dubai enjoys an international reputation for their ability to cater to and pamper their guests. These five-star hotels feature amenities reflecting the new Dubai, with modern flair, as well as maintaining old world charm, in glorious seaside surroundings.
Travelers to Dubai will be impressed by the cultural diversity of the place, as exemplified by its wide variety of cuisines. The expected Arab food is enormously varied and pleasing to nearly any palate, but there is also a fantastic selection of Asian and fast foods. The range of meals can vary from the diners for the pocket savvy, as well as the impressive array of world-class restaurants. The diversity of foods is a reflection of the place, which hosts one of the largest markets in the world.
The Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) , began in 1996, with the idea of creating a global village, where all nations could participate in displaying their cultures through their goods. Carpets, household appliances, jewelry and other crafts, are all for sale here, suggesting a microcosm of the world marketplace.
Those who might miss the festival (typically held in the first quarter of each year) can be assured of finding plenty of shopping opportunities at the Dubai Mall , at the Festival Center located on Dubai Creek (itself a place of enormous historic interest and value). This is the largest shopping mall in the world , featuring hundreds of retail shops. Visitors will not only be pleased at the shopping experience here, but will be entertained by the parades, musicians, and festivals which highlight live entertainment for the whole family. Continuous entertainment, along with the pleasures of retail excursions in the world’s largest mall, make this a necessary stopping point for any visitor.
