United Arab Emirates Weather
You might deepen your understanding of the word 'hot' during your holiday in Dubai; summer temperatures are above 40°C! It's never exactly cold in the winter either, rarely dropping below 20°C, even at night. Dubai gets most of it's rain in winter - but with an annual rainfall of just five inches, it's not exactly a lot! Bring light garments and do not forget your Factor 30.
Things To Do on United Arab Emirates Holidays
The sheer diversity of attractions on offer on holiday to Dubai reflect it's international status: from safaris into the palm-dotted desert to see the local flora and fauna, to the Grand Mosque with it's 50 minarets, you'll be at a loss to know where to start! For a taste of Dubai's history, visit the Al Fahidi Fort, with it's museum housing millennia-old artefacts from exquisitely designed pottery to Iron Age tools, or take a trip to the Bait Al Wakeel Maritime Museum.
If you're on a family holiday in Dubai and the kids are getting bored with the history lessons, then a day out at the giant theme parks of Wonderland and Magic Planet might be in order for some speed slides, watersports and even a fake jungle!
Culture
Not for nothing is Dubai known as the 'City of Gold' - you'll never have seen so much bullion unless you work in Fort Knox - and because of the abundance of precious metals sold at the many souks (or markets), you might come across some 24 carat bargains. Another brilliant market is Deira's fish souk, noted for the diversity of it's marine cuisine, from snapper and shellfish to tuna or hammour, all freshly caught by local fishermen.
For a taste of true Dubai culture, you can't pass on a visit to the village of Bastakiya with it's traditional Arabian houses and restaurants, and the nearby Bedouin hamlet, where you have a camel-riding lesson and buy some exotic wares and spices from the local market.
Nightlife
Dubai is intersected by the long Sheikh Zayed Road, home to bars, restaurants and clubs aplenty. Due to it's largely expatriate population, the City is littered with all manner of restaurants, Middle Eastern to McDonalds. Bear in mind that weekends here are Thursday and Friday, although every night is party night when you're on holidays in Dubai!
If dance is your scene, there are world-class DJs plying their tunes in clubs such as Kasbaa and Tropicana, or for a quieter night overlooking the crimson sunset, try the fountains and foliage of the Irish Village.
