Arabian Breaks ­ Dubai villa holidays, holiday apartment rental in Dubai Emirates

Dubai offers some of the best shopping in the world and offers an incredible range of top brand names. A trip to the Mall of the Emirates is well worth a visit with its vast range of shops and fantastic indoor ski slope. New shopping malls spring up in a matter of months thereby offering a vast selection to visit, making this truly a city where you can “shop till you drop”.

Dubai's attraction lies in the contrast between the ultra modern and the traditional, which gives the city a personality like no other. A few pockets of old Dubai still exist; the most impressive is Bastakia, with its narrow alleyways lined with old buildings constructed from coral and crowned with wind towers.

…experience the tranquil beauty of an Arabian night in the desert.

The Dubai Museum housed in an old fort, allows you to peek into an Islamic school, walk through a 1950s souk, watch traditional craftsmen at work and almost experience the tranquil beauty of an Arabian night in the desert. A visit to Jumeirah Mosque, which is the only mosque open too non Muslims, is not too be missed. Take a taxi, a wooden abra boat, across the Creek and you'll find old shopping streets that spiral into one of the many bustling souks and shop for gold, pearls, diamonds, spices and fabrics in a more traditional manner. Amongst Dubai’s foremost outdoor attractions are its breathtaking golf courses, such as the Creek Golf & Yacht Club, the Emirates Golf club, the Montgomery and the safari trips into the desert with dune bashing and visits to a bedouin camp under the starlit skies.

Dubai has enormous growth which has brought it into the 21st century. The construction of three different Palms, The World and the Burj Dubai, the worlds tallest tower are testimony to this. To check out the modern side of the city you should head for Sheikh Zayed Road, a strip filled with stunning futuristic skyscrapers, where panoramic views over the city can be enjoyed from the top of the towers.


Dubai has more than enough depth to satisfy even the most seasoned of travellers and will give you a holiday experience that will leave you with the desire to return again and again.
