Dubai, the
second largest of the seven Emirates that
make up the UAE, is locatedby the blue waters
of the southern Gulf and Flanked by the majestic
desert. Dubai is a place of fascinating contrast,
a distinctive blend of modern city an timeless
desert, east & west, old & new. Of
its many attraction, shopping is certainly
the biggest one. This along with the promise
of a unique Arabian Experience, make Dubai
the ideal destination for leisure as well
as business travellers.
Having expanded
along both banks of the Creek, Dubai’s
central business districtis divided into two
parts — Deira on the northern side and
Bur Dubai to the south — connected by
a tunnel and two bridges. Each has its share
of fine mosques and busy souks, of public
buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office
towers, banks, hospitals, schools, apartments
and villas.
Outside this
core, the city extends to the neighbouring
emirate of Sharjah to the north, while extending
south and west in a long ribbon of development
alongside the Gulf, through the districts
of Satwa, Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim.
At first glance,
the city presents a predominantly modern face,
an ever-changing skyline of new developments,
from striking glass and concrete towers to
gracious modern buildings incorporating traditional
Arabian architectural motifs and features.
No visit to
Dubai would be complete without a trip into
the desert. Such  excursions,
which are best organized as part of a group
tour, offer a taste of the true heartland
of Arabia.
Centrally located
in the heart of the commercial and banking
area of Bur Dubai. Approximately 6kms from
Dubai International Airport and 4 kms from
the Dubai Creek Golf & yacht club. Walking
distance from the shopping souks of Bur Dubai.
Dubai's world-renowned golf courses, beaches,
major shopping malls, old souks and Dubai

The emirate embraces a wide variety of scenery
in a very small area. In a single day, the
tourist can experience everything from rugged
mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to
sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty
villages to luxurious residential districts
and from ancient houses with windtowers to
ultra-modern shopping malls.
