Whether you are seeking glitz and glam, or relaxation and luxury on beautiful beaches, you will soon discover that Dubai has all that you came for, and more!

The Old and The New

The earliest recorded mention of Dubai was in 1095, and while the city is the epitome of futuristic, its past is still preserved and on display for the historically inclined visitor. The Dubai Museum offers many interesting sights, such as the Al Fahidi Fort which was built in 1799 and is the oldest existing building in the city. The museum also showcases treasures from the ancient Umayyad civilization. In contrast to these historical sites, Dubai also has some of the most impressive modern buildings in the world. It's skyline almost looks like something from a futuristic science fiction film, especially the Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world. This mind-boggling building stands an impressive 160 stories high and features fine dining, a hotel, a fitness centre, private residences, a nature park, and an observation deck with one of the most memorable views you will probably see in your life!
