Dubai Guide
Dubai, being one of the seven lovely emirates of the United Arab Emirates, is
one good spot worth visiting. It is also a hub of people because it is one of
the most populated regions in the United Arab Emirates.
In essence, the city is innovation at its very finest. Other Emirates are
dependent on oil reserves for their revenue, but these days, Dubai has been
getting much hype and income from tourist attractions brought about by their
massive infrastructures, real estates, breaking of Guinness records and
sports-related activities. Indeed, they have somehow broken out of the rigid
molds of the reserved reputation of the region that they belong in.
In the field of archaeology, Dubai has also contributed much historically and
esthetically. The names Al Soufuh and Al Quasis
constitute a myriad of settlements that are often viewed as a worldwide
historical asset and a physical sight to behold. Much of these sightings are
consolidated in the Dubai museum for easier access, to the massive delight of
archaeology experts and aficionados worldwide. Dubai museum used to be called Al
Fahidi Fort. It used to be a prison and garrison. But now it hosts an array of
pearls, pottery and metal materials from the past.
One of the prestigious sites, which is considered as Dubai's heritage, is the
Burj Nahar. The thick and renovated watchtower serves as a marker of Dubai's
history and tourists who visit Dubai usually take pictures and pay homage to
this watchtower. This is ideal to visit during summer so that you can see it in
its full glory.
Dubai also provides with the liberty and luxury of watching sea activity by
means of balconies situated by the sea. One such restaurant is Sheikh Saeed's
House. It used to be exclusive for royal families only in the earlier centuries.
There are also luxury homes being built for this purpose such as
Dubai Palm
Islands. What used to be something romantic that can only be seen in the movies
is now made possible by means of these recent developments.
Being a Muslim-dominated country, it will also be worthwhile to visit the
mosques that are popular and many in Dubai. There are over 200 mosques to choose
from. However, this option is only open for Muslim tourists, except the Jumeirah
Mosque. It is an unspoken imperative to dress appropriately if you intend to
visit any of these sanctuaries. You can even maximize your own visiting
experience as a non-Muslim by viewing the architectural structure of the mosques
from afar, especially during nighttime.
Sports activities are also unique and refreshing in Dubai. The city has great
water parks like Wild Wadi and
Aquaventure. And who loves racing, there are
horse
racing and camel racing. You can usually witness this at the Nad Al Sheba
in the months of November up to April.
Another fabulous activity to try is desert safaris
by riding and bashing the dunes of the
desert sand by means of a bumpy drive. This would require assistance of someone
who has had ample desert driving experience because it is dangerous for
first-timers. There are also existing tracks to follow and deviating from them
can pose greater risk on your life.
While Dubai also has other establishments built especially for tourists such as
malls and centers, it is still best for tourists to make the most of their stay
there by veering away from the typical tourist attractions and proceeding to
view the exotic finds in the mystical allure that is imminent in Dubai.
