Dubai
This super-wealthy desert city of Dubai has grown immensely since the discovery of oil, before which it was a bit of a backwater. Today, it has a superb infrastructure complete with a vast range of accommodation, most of it in the upper end and tailored to the business traveller, as well as to couples and families.
Dubai also has a striking coastline, which is now pockmarked by the Palm Islands and the sun shines here throughout the year.
Dubai Hotels
Though it has a wide range of hotels, it is more geared to the four- and five-star bracket and even boasts the world’s only ‘seven-star’, the elegant Burj Al Arab. More modest options include the likes of the four-star Golden Sands Hotel Apartments and the three-star Premier Inn Dubai Silicon Oasis.
Discover Experiences
The main tourist areas are well covered, however, with a couple of metro lines crossing the city. The bus system is fairly efficient and cheap, though busy, and there are meter taxis everywhere.
Jumeirah Al Naseem
The resort has a hot tub and water sports facilities, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Guests at the property can avail complimentary Wild Wadi Access.
