One of the reasons that Dubai, as a holiday destination, is so successful is in no small part down to the way that holidaymakers are treated. Dubai is clean, it’s safe, customer service is paramount and everyone working in the hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and souks have this infinite desire to please.
Of course the weather in Dubai helps too. With temperatures in January hovering around the mid 20’s Celsius, Dubai makes for a great winter sun destination. The pristine beaches, with white sand, crystal clear blue water and facilities such as beach bars and water sports, Dubai is a great destination for families as well. The heat in July and August can get too much for some people but relief can be found in the shopping malls, restaurants and indoor attractions as they are all air-conditioned.
A holiday to Dubai offers a wide range of sporting activities and interesting things to do. Water-sports activities are plentiful, from scuba-diving, sailing & windsurfing, water-skiing and fishing to the Wild Wadi water theme park. There are also activities that cover four legs to four wheels that include horse racing and dune buggy experiences. Dubai really is a destination that has everything covered, including somewhat surprisingly, Skiing! Yes that’s right you can now go skiing in Dubai. The first indoor ski-resort in the Middle East is found in Dubai. You can snow-board, ski and toboggan in Dubai’s snowdome known as Ski Dubai.
Dubai is also renowned for its shopping and quite simply is a shopaholic’s paradise. For those who like to shop till you drop there couldn’t be a better city than Dubai, but be careful, you still have to get your bags and suitcases home within the baggage allowance. Dubai can be described as an Aladdin’s cave stuffed with the newest gadgets and gizmos, designer wathes, electronic goods and the latest designer fashions. There is always a bargain to be had as well so make sure you haggle and don’t take the first price you are offered. There is a great choice of magnificent shopping malls; Mall of the Emirates, Al Bustan centre, The Lakes and Mall of Arabia to name but a few. Also you have to make time to shop in the souks, markets and boutiques which are an all together different experience.
In short, Dubai is a holiday destination that has everything and it certainly knows how to put on a good show. Dubai really does have the X factor.
