EXPLORE DUBAI

​With year-round sunshine, intriguing deserts, beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels
and shopping malls, fascinating heritage attractions and a thriving business community, Dubai receives millions of leisure and business visitors each year from around the world.

 

Take a look for yourself why.........

 

DUBAI

 

For big ambition and exuberant extravagance, there is nowhere quite like dazzling Dubai. Shimmering skyscrapers meet white sands caressed by aquamarine waters in this awe-inspiring Middle-Eastern metropolis. The city also boasts the ‘largest’ and ‘most luxurious’ of just about everything.

 

In less time than it takes to travel to Florida or the Caribbean you could be soaking up the year-round sunshine on Dubai’s idyllic beaches, or unwinding at one of the world’s most opulent spas. For spectacular views of the city, shoot by high-speed lift to the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Experience shopping on an unrivalled scale at sprawling supermalls, or wander around spice-scented souks in the historic Old Town. Hit the slopes of the globe’s largest indoor ski run or embark on an exhilarating desert safari. Afterwards, relax in a Bedouin-style camp and tuck into spicy kebabs by a crackling fire under a canopy of stars.

 

Dubai is one of the few cities in the world that has undergone such a rapid transformation - from a humble beginning as a pearl-diving centre - to one of the fastest growing cities on earth. Dubai today is a tourism, trade and logistics hub and has earned itself the reputation of being the ‘gateway between the east and the west.’ It is also considered as the dynamic nucleus of the Arabian Gulf region.

 

Home to just over 2 million people from more than 200 nationalities, Dubai is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Living in Dubai has a lot to offer. It is safe, politically stable, centrally located, has a good education system and healthcare facilities, modern infrastructure and much more. The sun shines almost every day, the shopping and leisure facilities are impressive, and the salaries are tax-free.

 

Living in Dubai is exciting, something new and different happens ever so often. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a new project is announced, whether it is the launch of a sports stadium, a mega commercial tower, a residential enclave or yet another shopping mall! Dubai is constantly on the move, striving for greater heights and more facilities and comfort for its residents and visitors.

 

Dubai is without a doubt a destination of the 21st century. Read any article about the fastest growing city in the region and it’s almost guaranteed you’ll see the words ‘ambitious’, ‘record-breaking’ and ‘staggering’. This meteoric growth has not gone unnoticed, and each year thousands of expats arrive to claim a slice of the action.
