I think Dubai is really nice city in the world thanks for sharing this with us ……….
Dubai would be an amazing place to visit, it’s a shame about all the buildings that have been abandoned recently. Definitely a place to visit though.
Dubai is really overrated. It’s a great place to visit for people from South and Southeast Asia, but not for North Americans, at least not for the most part. Malls? We invented them. Shopping… always better in western countries.
Dubai has become a commercial place and the nice tourist destination. I love to visit Palm Island and planning for a trip to Dubai. During the Mousil fasting days, do we get proper food in Dubai as most of my friends visited Dubai and they didnt get any food during the normal hours. They suffered a lot eating only dates and milk.
Dubai is my favorite place. My uncle is working there. During vacations he take me there.
Dubai has become the hottest shopping destination in the world. I eagerly wait for the Dubai shopping festival each year. Other than shopping, Dubai is home to some of the most amazing pieces modern architecture like the world’s tallest tower.
I am going to develop a site for hotel with custom reservation module. It will send check-in data by e-mail. You are welcome to participate. If you intereset in such module, you can write me via contact form.
Hi, great article thanks. I plan to travel to Dubai next year so this is very useful. Although some people say it is an overrated place I think it is somewhere you have to experience and I am looking forward to it.
I have lived in Dubai for 15 years and I can’t simply come down to missing a single moment spent. It is a great example of massive developments and changing from a developing country into an almost developed countries. There are a number of activities one can do and with so many malls open in various areas you can only choose from the array and be opened mouth at the sights and construction of these malls. Apart from that they are very famous for the gambling of horse races that take place and recently have been known for their 8th wonder that will be islands constructed to accumulate the world when seen from space. Magnificent.
Really good place, thanks to share
Vacation in Dubai is always up-market and high class. I guess I will not be wrong if I say that this is the pearl of the East and one of my favorite holiday destinations in the World.
Dubai was originally a small fishing village turned into a busy port on the ancient trade route between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley,and today quickly turned into an international business center and modern tourist destination following to the discovery of oil in 1966.From the picture,it looks very beautiful and flourishing.I decide when I have time and money,I would like to go to Dubai to have a wonderful travel.
Dubai looks amazing. It is very wealthy with all of the trading it does, especially in the oil and energy sector, if my memory serves me. I would love to travel there.
To visit Dubai is not much expensive like other countries. But spending high class vocations in Dubai is very expensive because luxury hotels and resorts are very expensive.
Dubai is a great city for shopping purpose here all branded things are available at resalable pries because here tax are not included. At this time the biggest tower is in Dubai called as Burje Dubai.
