Dubai Destination Guide

Among its outlandish projects is the only ski-slope in the desert. See The so-called seven-star, 321-metre-high Burj al Arab hotel, designed as a billowing sail, has become the symbol of modern Dubai. From its upper floors you can see the long sweep of Jumeirah Beach and the city with its twin mosques, the Jumeirah Mosque and the Grand Mosque.New Ski Dubai is symbolic of the city’s can-do-anything attitude. As well as 22,500 sq metres of real snow and five runs there are chairlifts and cafes. From the upper levels of the Burj al Arab watch the manmade Palm Islands and The World developments grow before your eyes.Spend Shop to within a inch of your life in the gigantic Mall of the Emirates or the older, more distinctive, Wafi Mall. The spice and gold souks (markets) offer a more traditional shopping experience, while the airport duty free overflows with bargain electronic gear and gadgets.Get Out Jumeirah Beach is the place to relax with a dip in the balmy waters of the Arabian Gulf. The banks of Dubai Creek are perfect for an idle stroll with cool breezes and even cooler views of the emerging city skyline.Culture Much of the cultural life unfolds around various tourist-orientated performances at the city’s four- and five-star hotels. The Dubai International Congress Centre hosts occasional classical music events and the amateur Dubai Drama Group regularly stages English-language productions at the Dubai Community Theatre.Eat & Drink Dynamic Dubai wants the best of the world and the finest ingredients are flown in daily for top chefs to conjure into dishes from all the great cuisines. Whether you are after tempting Thai delicacies, smooth French or fancy fusion you will find it in the downtown hotels, along Sheik Zayed Road and Jumeirah Beach. For local cuisine, try matchbous (spicy lamb with rice).New Perspective Enjoy a cocktail in the Skyview Bar at the Burj al Arab hotel, the world’s tallest hotel.|
