About Dubai

Dubai is currently one of the hottest travel destinations in the Middle East. The structural marvels created in this modern metropolis make it stand out. Skyscrapers like the 828-meter-high Burj Khalifa or the magnificent Palm Jumeirah archipelago have become landmark symbols of Dubai. Dubai City is nestled between the sea and burning desert sands. This unique geography allows visitors who come here the opportunity to experience a broad range of diverse entertainment facilities. You could go to the Jumeirah Beach to play in the water or sunbathe on the white sand, take a hot air balloon up over the desert, or go on a desert jeep safari. If your budget allows, you can (and should) spend the night at one of Dubai's top-class hotels for a unique luxury experience.
