TRAVEL GUIDE

Is Dubai the city of gold and glamour, or is it an exotic desert outpost? The majority of visitors to Dubai don't know the answer to this question before they arrive, and some never delve deep enough into the culture to ever find out. The success of Dubai's international airline, Emirates, and their extensive route network mean that most visitors are simply stopping through. A bit of research will prepare you for many days, even weeks in Dubai. Think white-sand beaches, eternal heat, Bedouin culture, austere natural beauty, bustling souks, space-age architecture, international cuisine, theme parks of almost every nature, shopping, and more.
