DISCOVER DUBAI!
From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors.

In a single day, the tourist can experience everything from rugged mountains and aweinspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra-modern shopping malls.

on the Creek
 
The emirate is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era.

All of these contrasts give Dubai its unique flavor and personality; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia.

Since earliest time, Dubai has been a meeting place, bringing together the Bedouin of the desert interior with the pearl-diver, the merchant of the city with the sea-going fisherman.

The Spice Souk is always
worth a visit

Having expanded along both banks of the Creek, Dubai's central business district is 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.
Skyline of the modern Dubai

Outside this core, the city extends to the neighboring 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 Suqueim. 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.

DUBAI CITY TOUR
This half day tour through the modern and progressive city of Dubai (also known as City of Gold) is really an interesting one. Dubai still retains much of its original character with the over crowded creek with the ancient dhows and the wind- towers of the old houses in the Bastakiya District.

The Dubai creekside is a contrast of old and new. The tour starts from the elegant Jumeirah Mosque, which is a landmark of Dubai followed by the Jumeirah Beach, Jumeirah Hotel - the jewel in the crown of Dubai - to Nad Al Sahiba race course where you can see herds of camels coming and going for training. We return to Zabeel Palace, the family residence of the ruling Al Maktoum family after passing through the little Manhattan (posh area of Dubai with innumerable sky scrapers) and the towering World Trade Centre.

We proceed further to the creek side to see the Skyline of Dubai where you can see the fascinating views of skyscrapers and to Bastakiya, which is the old part of Dubai. Next to visit is the 150 year old Al Fahidi Fort Museum, which shows some interesting artefacts which throw light on Dubai's historical links with trading and pearl diving. After the visit to beautifully restored Palace of Sheikh Saeed, the grandfather of present ruler of Dubai you will be dropped at Abra (the ancient water taxi ferry) crossing point from where you cruise along the creek enjoying its beauty.

A visit to the spice souq and gold souq gives you an insight into Dubai's growth as a major trading centre. The last leg of the trip takes you to have a glimpse of Deira City Centre (the largest shopping mall in UAE), Emirates Training College, Aviation College, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club and Wonderland.
