Dubai is to the
Middle East what Hong Kong is to Asia: a capitalist jewel buzzing
with activity. Most visitors to the region stop here for at
least a day to browse the shops, eat in the restaurants and
soak up the atmosphere of a city oozing wealth and confidence.
Dubai's main beaches run along Jumeira Road. In truth, it
is one long beach divided up by hotels and private clubs, interspaced
by a few public access beaches. The Jumeira beaches have soft
white sand that slip into the shallow warm turquoise waters
of the Arabian Gulf.
Dubai has many attractions for
visitors and one of its greatest is its superb shopping. Indeed,
the city draws large numbers of "shopping tourists"
from countries within the region and as far afield as Eastern
Europe, Africa and the Subcontinent. Souks have been called
"the heart of urban Arabia", and Dubai has plenty.
These range from the traditional, dusty, alleyways of the spice
souk, a stone's throw from the Creek, to the modern fish souk
with the many varieties caught in Gulf waters and the fruit
and vegetable souk with its bustle and vivid colours.
Dubai's cosmopolitan flavour is matched by the city's many restaurants
and entertainment spots, which provide a truly international
array of choices for the visitor. Dubai is an excellent place
to sample all types of Gulf and Middle Eastern cuisine, including
Iranian, Moroccan and Lebanese. Arabian food makes up an important
part of most buffet spreads. Restaurants located outside hotel
and club premises are not permitted to supply alcohol.
