In just over 25 years, Dubai has gone from being a backward area to becoming one of the most dynamic and visually stunning cities in the world. It has grown at breakneck speed: 40 years ago, there was not even a skyscraper. Today, there are gigantic palm-shaped islands that can be seen from space, the world's first 7-star hotel and the tallest building on the planet, the Burj Khalifa at Dubai Travel.
Dubai is one of the seven states of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is ruled by a royal dynasty with the ambition to drive the spectacular growth of Dubai. The discovery of oil reserves in the 1960s transformed what was a simple fishing village into a powerful financial and transport center. As oil reserves declined, the city turned its attention to tourism.
One of Dubai's biggest attractions is shopping. Explore the sparkling streets of the Gold Souk for jewelery bargains or sneak a day into shopping paradise at the Dubai Mall, one of the world's largest shopping centers. This mall has more than 1000 shops, an aquarium and an indoor theme park.
Dubai offers attractions that challenge the extremely arid environment. Marvel at the Dubai Fountain, the world's largest choreography fountain, or slip on real snow skis at the Ski Dubai indoor ski resort.
But Dubai is much more than a display of artificial opulence. On trips to Dubai, relax on its beautiful beaches, explore the rich wetlands and discover the magical desert environment at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve Nature Reserve.
The magnificent climate makes Dubai a suitable destination for the whole year. If you are not used to temperatures that can exceed 40 ° C, try to travel during the winter and spring months.
Dubai has an excellent public transport system with more than 50 bus routes, water taxis and metro network. If you prefer to travel by car in Dubai Tours, the rental companies can satisfy your car wishes with Italian and Hummer branded dream cars, as well as with more modest ones.
