Dubai is one of the most famous travel destinations in the world, both for
shopping and tourism. It is extremely renowned for its celebrated shopping
places which include ultramodern malls on the one hand and traditional souks on
the other. One of the things to do in Dubai is to take a whirlwind tour of Dubai
City where you can get a chance to discover its ancient cultural roots.
You will be picked up from your hotel in an air-conditioned coach and taken on a
sightseeing tour of Dubai. Your tour starts with a visit to the Deira Spice Souk,
which was once famous as the Old Souk. Souks are traditional shopping places –
it may refer to regular shops or to weekly markets. Here, you will find a number
of small shops selling different varieties of spices. The next item on your trip
would be a visit to the famous Gold Souk where you will see shops glittering
with jewelry. Visit the Jumeriah Mosque in the Bastakia Quarter and take in its
modern architecture. Find out more about Dubai’s traditions and culture by
visiting the Dubai History Museum and the Al-Fahidi Fort. It would be
interesting to note that this fort was, at one time, the seat of the government.
Your final destination is something that you can really look forward to – a most
delicious lunch at one of the restaurants of the world famous Burj Al Arab
Hotel, which is the only hotel in the world which boasts of seven stars. You are
normally taken to the Al-Iwan Restaurant which serves both International and
Oriental Buffet, but should you prefer an Asian Buffet, you will be taken to the
Junsui Restaurant.
And, after that delicious lunch what can be more wonderful than an excellent
siesta. If you are looking for more fun, adventure and leisure, check the best
