Glamorous , futuristic and quite extraordinary
There really is nowhere quite like Dubai . This former small Gulf trading centre has , over the last 40 years or so , grown into one of the world ’ s essential travel destinations brimming with architectural wonders , extravagant hotels , superb restaurants , beautiful beaches and so much more . For a glimpse of pre-skyscraper Dubai , head to Dubai Creek where ancient dhows ply the busy waters or the atmospheric souks which hum with activity and bargaining banter . If contemporary shopping is more your style , options include the vast Dubai Mall , the Mall of the Emirates or Dubai Hills Mall where along with the latest trends at over 600 outlets there ’ s also a cineplex and indoor rollercoasters . In must-visit Downtown Dubai , see the world-famous Burj Khalifa and whizz up to its observation decks for staggering views , watch water dance at the Dubai Fountains , or at Bluewaters Island ride on the world ’ s tallest observation wheel , Ain Dubai . If you fancy a beach base , then Jumeirah has nine miles of coastline , swanky hotels , chic shops , private beach clubs and Wild Wadi Waterpark . Set back from the sand is The Walk , a pedestrianised area of shops , bars and restaurants at Jumeirah Beach Residence . Close by is man-made Dubai Marina , with lots of trendy and upscale eateries . Other must-sees are Palm Jumeirah , the renowned man-made island resembling a palm tree , along with the spectacular man-made Deira Islands development , comprised of four islands and whose attractions include a waterfront souk . For laidback charm , beachside bliss and family fun aplenty , look no further than La Mer , known for its contemporary design and arty vibe with over 30 shops , cafes and restaurants . Jebel Ali , which sits in an outlying district , is another top spot for lazy days beside the sea and easy access to the thrilling rides and family fun of Dubai Parks™ and Resorts . Along with exhilarating watersports and immaculate golf courses there ’ s wintery fun at Ski Dubai and Dubai Ice Rink , while at the Museum of the Future you can explore next-generation science and innovation . Save time also for a desert adventure of exhilarating dune bashing . Dubai also spoils with its amazing hotels and resorts that suit all tastes and budgets . Look out for club room upgrades which are fantastic value and highly recommended with access to exclusive lounges serving food and beverages during the day , including alcoholic drinks , snacks , afternoon tea and evening canapés .
