Many people mistake travel to Dubai for travel to an arid place in one of the farthest corners of the globe. However, travel to Dubai means visiting a land where engineers have mastered the impossible. You will find manmade islands shaped like the world, ski slopes and championship golf courses all in the middle of a massive arid desert.
When you visit Dubai you will be hard pressed to think of it as the small desert town home to Bedouin tribes just under a century ago. Although despite the massive engineering accomplishments in Dubai, it is still behind in some aspects. For instance, Dubai has no running water, no paved roads and the camel still remains the main mode of transportation.
However, throughout the years Dubai has built huge skyscrapers and office blocks. Major projects have been built throughout the city that draws in many tourists throughout the year. There is the Burj Arab which is the world’s tallest tower. Then there is the Three Palms and the World which is a string of offshore manmade islands. Finally there is Dubai Land which is a larger project that will bring 45 major projects into one large leisure center in the middle of the desert. You will see all of this and even more if you purchase a luxury travel package to Dubai.
The biggest draw for tourists is the idyllic climate that the city experiences nearly year round. You will often find sunshine nearly every day of the year with only five days average for rainfall every year. Just be prepared if you are traveling in the summer to face extreme heat.
