Holiday in the Luxurious Dubai

Online, December 21, 2009 (Newswire.com) - It's easy to think of Dubai simply as a stop-off point for travellers wanting to fly to Asia - but there's so much more to Dubai than its airport. Situated on the United Arab Emirates' Persian Gulf coast, Dubai's ideal location makes for year-round sunshine and fantastic temperatures.

Those wanting to fly to Dubai to take advantage of its great climate can readily choose from a selection of cheap flights to Dubai. Also, due to the city's airport welcoming hundreds of inbound and outbound air routes daily, it's easier than ever to take one of the numerous Dubai flights available.

The former fishing village's incredible rise to fame has seen it emerge as an increasingly popular holiday destination over the past decade, headed up by the landmark Burj-Al-Arab hotel. The Burj-Al-Arab hotel has led Dubai's race to become one of the most complete tourist destinations in the world.

Completed in 2000, this reported seven-star hotel, the only hotel in the world to gain such a status, is the second tallest purpose-built hotel in the world and is a sign of Dubai's intent to position itself among the planet's most luxurious and popular destinations.

Since the Burj-Al-Arab's completion, Dubai has grown exponentially and now offers a host of attractions for tourists to visit. The city is becoming famous for its out-of-this-world shopping and boasts a number of gigantic malls to cater for every shopping need.

Even though Dubai is built upon desert land, it has recreated the temperatures of the French Alps to establish a massive indoor ski slope! Visitors to Ski Dubai are sure to enjoy a welcome chill as they walk in from outside temperatures of up to 40 degrees and prepare to take the 400m ski lift to the top.

Dubai is also famous for its distinguished eateries, one of which has been opened by celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsey. Those looking for something a little more relaxing will be happy to find an abundance of pristine golf courses that offer stunning views of the imposing skyline.

Recently, Dubai has completed its outrageous vision of building man made property-filled islands in the shape of planet Earth and another in the shape of a massive Palm only adding to its growing reputation for the audacious and hedonistic!
