Experience the Difference of Dubai

 

Where else on earth can you tour an entertainment park, watch camel races, shop in the finest boutiques, take an aerial tour, and play in some of the world’s finest golf courses all in the same trip but Dubai? Dubai is a truly unique experience and because it has so much appeal to so many different people and tastes, it is becoming a more popular travel destination every day! In Dubai, you can live old-world style one minute and then be whisked off to enjoy contemporary indulgences the next. It’s truly a unique experience and one that has countless opportunities!

One of the many unique experiences that Dubai has to offer revolves around camels. Whether you want to hop on one’s back and take a safari tour or simply watch these great beasts in racing action, Dubai has it! Travel to the desert to watch different types of camels along with the local spectators, who are right at home in their traditional clothing. The tracks along the desert are made specifically for racing purposes and while many are official, there are also some less official racing tracks where you can watch this spectacular sport! If you want to get up close and personal with a camel, take one on a safari as you travel through the great sand dunes and watch some of Dubai’s wildlife such as the desert fox, sand cats, and falcons. If you like being in the desert but aren’t that fond of camels, ride through the sand dunes in a four-wheel drive vehicle and feel the ground move beneath you. The only word to describe it is thrilling!

Bring out the child in yourself by visiting any of the three different Dubai entertainment parks. Wild Wadi Water Park is actually set in the middle of the desert but you need not worry about going thirsty as the park holds an astounding thirty million liters of water. Slide down the grand waterslides or be pushed and pulled in the wave park – this park is truly a place to get soaked! Wonderland is another water park the city boasts and has speed slides, surf hills, wave runners, and much more. If you’re out and about shopping and need to unwind for a few minutes, you may want to visit Magic Palace. This park is centered right inside the Deira City Shopping Center and features bowling, a crawling bungie, video games, electronic pitch, and more!

If golfing is your game, you’ve come to the right place in Dubai. The Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club as well as the Emirates Golf Club are the two most famous being that they have both hosted the European PGA tour but there are many fine courses including the five-star course Montgomerie Golf Club, Al Badia Golf Resort which holds over eleven different bodies of water, Arabian Ranches Golf Club and many more. The number of tee holes in Dubai is endless and the city is known for having some of the most prestigious and fun courses in the world!

Want to stand on a palm tree in the water? Sounds crazy but you can do this on three different palm trees in Dubai. Yes, welcome to Palm Island, the three largest man-made islands in the world! The first island, Jumeirah Palm Island is mainly for living purposes and also has fine hotels and restaurants located on it. The second, Jebel Ali Palm Island, is for entertainment and has water parks, golf courses and more! The third, Deira Palm Island is a combination of the two. These islands aren’t the only structures however that prove how innovative Dubai is. In 2010, The Dynamic Tower will be built. Dynamic indeed! This will be the first skyscraper, which will actually consist of four separate buildings that will move every time the wind does! Who’s seen a building that looks different every time you look at it?
