| Dubai (DXB) is a dramatically evolving city, with sweeping skyscrapers and gleaming office blocks rising up on the banks of the Creek. Development has been well managed, with a structure and order to the city that demonstrates that the oil wealth has been well handled and channeled. Book Dubai flights now and jet set for an amazing vacation! Sightseeing within the city is split mainly between the Deira and Bur Dubai flanks of Dubai Creek, featuring manic activity and rambling streets, the myriad souks. Meanwhile, historic Bur Dubai has less of a bustling atmosphere and is home to a number of tourist attractions, including the Dubai Museum, Grand Mosque and Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum's House. With cheap flights to Dubai, you can manage it all in your budget.
Whether you choose to take the traditional dhow cruises along the creek or stroll along its banks on the promenade, Dubai Creek itself is a major draw for tourists. Breaking away, west from the mouth of Dubai Creek, is Jumeirah Beach, not really one beach as such, but rather a sweeping strip of sand fringed by the bath temperature waters of the Arabian Gulf. Many of Dubai's best hotels are located on or nearby Jumeirah Beach, including the unmistakable hulk of the Burj al Arab (or 'Arab Tower'), as well as leisure facilities like Wild Wadi Water Park and the more traditional attraction of Jumeirah Mosque. There is no specific nightlife districts as many of the best bars are in the big tourist hotels, which are situated throughout the city. Drinking a pint of beer could land you in prison in some parts of the Middle East, however, in Dubai; alcohol is tolerated, with non-Muslims allowed to imbibe alcohol in the city's bars, restaurants, clubs and hotels that remain open until the wee hours. Grab exclusive Dubai travel deals and jet set for a fun filled vacation without breaking the bank.
