A crossroads of the Middle East where East meets West. With
sophisticated hotels, dazzling beaches, tempting duty-free shopping, superb
golf - and exciting excursions into the desert.
Lying on the southern shores of the Arabian
Gulf, the United Arab Emirates are a dynamic international crossroads between
East and West. The thriving economic activity of recent years, together with the
long hours of sunshine and sandy beaches, has seen the country develop into one
of the region's most popular holiday areas - with an impressive collection of
city and resort hotels, modern shopping malls and traditional ‘souks’
offering excellent duty-free purchases (especially of luxury goods), superb golf
courses, spectacular desert-and-mountain landscapes, and an increasingly
cosmopolitan atmosphere.
With a dry, sub-tropical climate - there's very little annual rainfall - the
Emirates are a year-round holiday destination, hot in summer and pleasantly warm
in winter. English is widely spoken in the main areas, and although the
country's culture is firmly rooted in Islamic tradition, there is a marked
tolerance in both Abu Dhabi and, especially, Dubai, towards the different values
and lifestyles of the many overseas travellers now increasingly coming to the
Emirates.
One of the seven United Arab Emirates that joined together in 1971, Dubai has
become a busy modern international centre, its ancient seafaring traditions and
Bedouin heritage fast absorbing visitors and influences from around the world.
Its rapid growth has seen the arrival of a striking portfolio of major hotels -
both in the city itself and on the surrounding coast - whose standards and
sophistication are on a par with any the world.
The fascinating souks and excellent shops of Dubai offer endless interest - and
many duty-free bargains, especially for luxury goods - for the dedicated
shopper, here in a city that is an intriguing mix of old and new, where
traditional customs and renovated sheikhs’ palaces survive alongside striking
modern-day skyscrapers that look squarely to the future.
