About Dubai
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Dubai is ideal for those wishing to experience a glimpse of urban and coastal luxury and opulence. Cradled between the waters of the Gulf, the desert, and the Al Hajar mountains, the Emirate of Dubai – one of the seven United Arab Emirates – is a truly fascinating blend of the ancient traditions of Arabia and the Bedouin, the influence of Islam, and a thriving, modern commercialism. Even at the beginning of this century, the way of life in Dubai had hardly changed over hundreds of years and was centred around merchants from Iran and India, Bedouins traversing the desert from wadi to oasis, spices and gold being traded. Today, remnants of this old way of life are still visible and great efforts are being made to restore traditional houses and to show village life although new buildings are air-conditioned towers of steel and glass, shopping centres vie with ancient souqs and the traditional art of falconry exists alongside golf and horse-racing. Dubai has a huge number of attractions as a luxury holiday destination, from its hot climate, warm waters and sandy beaches to its desert dunes, outstanding luxury accommodation, and glimpses of modern and ancient Arab life for western visitors.
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.
