For a vacation off the beaten path, consider a
trip to the
city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Whether traveling by land or sea, Dubai is a great stop for
the adventurous
traveler. The glimmering city is buzzing with activity. Architecture buffs will appreciate the blend of Islamic and
Western
buildings and culture.
Essential sightseeing includes the Burj Tower which will officially be the tallest
building
in the world upon its opening in early 2009, the 7-star Burj-Al-Arab and Medinat hotels, Jumeira Beach, Gold Souk
and Mall
of the Emirates. Take a Big Bus tour, or hire a cab from your hotel (approximately USD$120 for a day of service per
couple).
The
Big Bus Tour of Dubai is a great way to see the city at your leisure. Buy a ticket (approximately $55 per person,
valid for
24 hours) and hop on or off the bus at multiple stops including the The Dubai Museum, The Spice Souk,
Sheik
Saeed Al Maktoum's House and Beach tours. Visit our homepage to search for vacation deals now.
