Vacation in Dubai
Dubai is such an exciting and diverse travel destination that it
attracts millions of visitors annually - particularly during the
winter months when the weather is perfect for every single
activity from sunbathing and scuba diving to camel racing and
desert safaris.
If you're planning a trip to Dubai here's a guide to the types
of attractions and activities you and your family can plan on
enjoying.
First things first, as stated the winter months from November
through to March are the most popular time of the year to visit
the emirate. The weather is perfect with daily sunshine and high
temperatures but the sun is not at its most intense which means
that visitors can actually get out and about and not have to
avoid the desert heat that radiates excessively in Dubai in the
summer.
In January each year Dubai plays host to the now world famous
Dubai Shopping Festival, a retail extravaganza that annually
attracts in excess of 3.3 million visitors who come to enjoy the
month long festival and associated celebrations.
The shopping festival is such a hit because the luxury bargains
that tax free Dubai is world renowned for are available at sale
prices for example, and every single day there are incredible
prizes to be won from luxury cars to substantial cash lump sums!
Add to this the fact that the Dubai Shopping Festival is a
family experience and has daily events and activities for
children and nightly firework displays for example and you can
see why January is such a great time to be vacationing in Dubai.
Once you've shopped in the gold souk and the incredibly
luxurious malls and marketplaces you might
like to get away from
the crowds and head out away from the emirate into the desert on
a camel or jeep safari; alternatively you could try sand skiing,
dune or wadi driving and then have a desert picnic feast.
Heading back into Dubai there are two great ways to get to know
more about this historic and incredibly interesting city - a
visitor can either take to the air or the water ways and get a
unique glimpse of the emirate. Taking an aerial tour of Dubai in
a helicopter is a once in a lifetime experience; or for those
who prefer something more sedate why not cruise Dubai's
waterways in a traditional wooden dhow.
For those who're after a more action packed experience from
their vacation in Dubai why not try thunder bowl, horse riding
in the desert, go karting, golf, ice skating or deep sea
fishing? And for those with traveling to Dubai with children
there are a whole host of exciting adventure parks to try from
Dubai Wonderland to Wild Wadi, from Magic Planet to the soon to
be completed Snow Dome.
Whatever type of event, activity or attraction you're after
Dubai can satisfy your every whim. With daily cultural events,
nightly entertainment activities and a whole world within one
emirate waiting to be discovered what are you waiting for? Book
your vacation today!
