destination that mixes modern culture with history, adventure with world-class shopping and entertainment. Catch a show at the Dubai Opera, see downtown from atop the Burj Khalifa and spend an afternoon along Dubai Creek exploring the gold, textile and spice souks. If you’re looking for thrills, you can float above the desert dunes in a hot air balloon, climb aboard a high-speed ride at IMG Worlds of Adventure or skydive over the Palm Jumeirah.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Middle East. It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. The emirate's Western-style model of business drives its economy with the main revenues now coming from tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events.

There are other museums in Dubai and in surrounding emirates that also offer important insights into the history and growth of the city and of the United Arab Emirates.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="186" src="/intcess20/images/Dubai pictures/images23445.jpg" width="247" />  <img alt="" src="/intcess20/images/Dubai pictures/safari.jpg" style="width: 275px; height: 183px;" />  </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="119" src="/intcess20/images/Dubai pictures/9_6_Areas_Dubai.jpg" width="315" /> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="185" src="/intcess20/images/Dubai pictures/dubai-city-007-1112x630.jpg" width="257" />   <img alt="" height="186" src="/intcess20/images/Dubai pictures/ierik.jpg" width="232" /></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;">  </p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Everything about Dubai is Superlative</strong></span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">The words ‘first, tallest, deepest, most expensive, lavish, outlandish’ could have been created for this city.

The best time to visit is from October to April, with perfect temperatures for long, comfortable days at the beach and balmy evenings outside.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Vaccinations</strong>: No special injections are needed.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Visas</strong>: Citizens from the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and most Western European and Far Eastern countries are entitled to a free, 30-day extendable visit visa on arrival. Others must obtain a visa through a local sponsor or hotel.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Duty Free:</strong> There is a useful Duty Free shop by the baggage reclaim belts in the airport. The incoming allowance is 400 cigarettes or 250 grams cigars, 200ml perfume and four litres of wine or spirits.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Clothing</strong>: Loose-fitting cottons suit the year-round sunny climate best, with hats for the heat of the day. Winter evenings can be surprisingly cool, and it is best to come equipped for ferocious air conditioning. Although Dubai is generally permissive, you should dress modestly when around town, and long skirts or trousers and short sleeves are a must when venturing further afield, especially during Ramadan.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Safety</strong>: The fact is, Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world, with very low crime rates meaning travelling around the city is very safe. That said, Dubai is a big world city and common sense precautions should be observed. Women should have little trouble exploring the city alone. However, a modest sense of dress will ensure less unwanted attention in the more traditional parts of the city.</span></span></p> <p>  </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <div id="copyright"> ©2014-2024 OCERINT<br/> </div> </div>  <div class="copy2"><a href="http://www.biler.as"><img src="/intcess20/templates/meembo-red/images/cpright3.jpg" alt="Biler" /></a><a href="http://www.children.as"><img src="/intcess20/templates/meembo-red/images/cpright3.jpg" alt="Children" /></a><a href="http://www.legogspil.eu"><img src="/intcess20/templates/meembo-red/images/cpright3.jpg" alt="Leg og Spil" /></a><a href="http://www.autobranchen.net"><img src="/intcess20/templates/meembo-red/images/cpright3.jpg" alt="Autobranchen" /></a></div> </body> </html>
