Why Dubai

Burj Al Arab & Jumeirah Beach

Burj Al Arab & Jumeirah Beach


Dubai has something for everyone, from vacationers seeking a relaxing break away from the pressures of work, to active tourists looking for a new, exciting experience. The emirate is an international conference, exhibition, and leisure travel destination.  Lying on the calm, blue waters of the southern Gulf and flanked by majestic desert, Dubai offers year-round sunshine and five-star luxury along with the adventure of a unique Arabian experience.

Twenty nine years ago the southern coast of the lower Gulf was a barren, under-populated land comprised of several autonomous states. Today, as the United Arab Emirates, it has become a dynamic, modern society with the infrastructure of contemporary twenty-first century life.

The great wealth derived from the UAE's oil and gas production has given the country one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. This income has been invested over the past twenty years in construction and development which have proceeded at an amazing rate. All of the original settlements have become dynamic urban centers and Dubai has grown into a large, cosmopolitan city. Rural villages have been reconstructed; many nationals (natives of the UAE) have acquired homes which feature the modern conveniences of major urban lifestyles.  Networks of multi-lane highways link the main city centers. The more remote regions are accessible by all-terrain vehicles and both the desert and the mountains are popular destinations for leisure and recreational activities.

Dubai has facilities for swimming, sailing, fishing, windsurfing, water-skiing, jet-skiing, scuba-diving and snorkeling. There is golf on five championship-standard grass courses.  Other sports include squash and tennis; horseback riding; trekking, paragliding, cycling, ice-skating, shooting, archery and bowling.  Families will enjoy the child- friendly parks and playgrounds. Driving in the desert, mountains or river beds (wadis) is a favorite weekend pastime for many people in the Emirates. There are numerous sites for camping and picnicking.

Shopping for traditional Middle Eastern gifts is easy and enjoyable. Offerings include rugs, silverware, jewelry, brass, inlaid rosewood furniture and much more. 

Dubai is a modern city without any of the negative aspects often associated with city life, such as air pollution, poverty or crime.
