Dubai Vacations, Trips, Tours & Travel Packages
Dubai is located southeast of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula and is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It houses the largest population in the UAE and is considered the most moderate and progressive of all the emirates to be experienced on a Dubai vacation.
Early archaeological findings in Dubai date back to around 8000 BC, however, the Sheikhdom of Dubai was not formally established until 1833. By the beginning of the 20th century, the area was an important trading hub and with the discovery of oil in 1966, infrastructure began to expand. Just a few years later, in 1971, Dubai became the second emirate to join the UAE.
Thanks to the revenues from the oil industry, a construction boom began in the 1980s, continued in the 1990s and the pace with which it accelerated during the new millennium was unrivaled anywhere else. As a result of this expansion, Dubai has grown into a cosmopolitan region famous around the world for its immense construction projects including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, skyscrapers, man-made islands and luxurious hotels, all to be wondered at on a Dubai vacation.
What are the top things to see in Dubai?
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
A relatively modern Mosque constructed from 1996-2007, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates’s capital of Abu Dhabi and a key place for worship during gatherings and prayers.
Burj Al Arab
Built on its own artificial island and connected by a bridge to the mainland. The Burj Al Arab’s designers wanted to create an iconic landmark for the city of Dubai and took inspiration from the shape of a ship’s sail.
Burj Khalifa
Known around the world for setting numerous height-related records, the Burj Khalifa was built based on gaining international recognition, investment, and improving tourism.
Dubai is considered one of the premier travel destinations in the Middle East. Shopping, whether in the world’s largest mall or traditional souks, is unparalleled. Dubai also offers stunning white beaches and endless water sports opportunities. A truly multicultural and global place, a visit to Dubai will not soon be forgotten.
