Highlights of Dubai

Local highlights in Dubai are based largely around the traditional Arab and Bedouin way of life here; falconry, the mosques and their minarets, the traditional dress such as the long white dishdasha and the gutra head cloth held on by the black agal for men and the abaya long black cloak for women and sometimes the burqa, a mask that covers the eyebrows, nose and mouth. The ancient souqs such as the Spice Souq, the Covered Souq and the Gold Souq in Deira. Arabic coffee at the Fatafeet Cafe and watching if not trying others smoking a sheesha, filled with apple-flavoured tobacco. Take an abra ride on the Creek to get a real flavour of the ancient and modern feel of the city. Traditional wooden dhows moored in Dubai Creek. Bargain for a carpet at the Sharjah Central Souq. Shopping for gold, Bedouin jewellery, perfume, incense, electronics and textiles. Sporting activities include camel racing, desert rallies, golf, tennis and horse-racing.

Travel around Dubai

Taxis from Dubai Transport or private companies recommended by the hotels are probably the best way to get around and are reasonable. Care should be taken whilst on foot as driving can be haphazard and attention is not always paid to pedestrian crossings.
