Travelling around Dubai is easily done by taxi – the cost is very reasonable and the drivers speak good English. Abras and water taxis line the Dubai Creek, taking you from one side of the creek to the other in no time at all.

Shop to your heart’s content or sample the city’s delights

The question here is, what doesn’t Dubai offer? From bargaining for the best deals in jewellery at the Gold Souk to playing a round of golf at a professionally designed golf course, there is something for everyone in Dubai.

Endless water-sport opportunities are available, with water skiing and kite-surfing among the most popular. There is also a growing skim-boarding following that takes advantage of some the whitest and sandiest beaches in the world. Water parks also help you cool down during the hot summer months.

When the summer temperatures peak, indoor activities are the best options, with Ski Dubai and the skating rink at Dubai Mall available to help you forget the heat. Between November and March however, desert safaris and drives over the dunes in a 4X4 are adventures not to be missed.

Dining options abound in the city, with the world’s best restaurants, cafés and casual dining outlets ready to tickle your fancy. Hotel chains, from 5-star to boutique, are also numerous and offer dining alternatives to suit everyone’s taste.

Opulence and luxury are key words that come to mind when one thinks of Dubai and this is true in the Burj Al Arab, the only 7-star hotel in the world. One need only walk through one of the malls to find the biggest names in luxury from the world over. But the city is also rooted in Arabic traditions, as evidenced in the numerous museums and heritage villages spread throughout the city. The magnificent Jumeirah Mosque is open to non-Muslims for tours, with a question and answer session to help tourists learn more about Islam. For a more idyllic view of the city, a dinner cruise down the Dubai Creek is highly recommended. These can be easily booked on a public dhow or you may choose to rent a private boat. Tour arrangements may also be booked through dnatatravel.com. Simply use the user-friendly online booking tool to help you find a tour you are sure to enjoy.
