Dubai
is the exemplary home of sand, sun and
shopping, all together. The tourists can
discover the two sides of Dubai-the lustrous,
future-oriented world of large mirrored
skyscrapers, air-conditioned cool malls
and artificial islands; and on the other
side, old Dubai, which is perhaps most
evidently epitomized by its primordial
mosques and countless souks.
The
city is expanded all along the both banks
of the Creek. The central business district
of Dubai is divided into two parts- on
the northern side Deira and to the south
Bur Dubai. A tunnel and two bridges connect
both of the districts. Both the cities
are decorated with sites of tourists'
interest, fine mosques, busy souks, public
buildings, shopping malls, office towers,
hotels, apartments and villas.
As you would cast your first look at the
city, you would feel the city to have
a primarily modern face that represents
an ever-changing skyline of new developments.
The city offers everything, from outstanding
mirror and concrete skyscrapers to affable
modern buildings, which further incorporate
the traditional Arabian architectural
features and motifs.
The
emirate embraces a wide variety of scenery
in a very small area. In a single day,
the tourist can experience everything
from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring
sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green
parks, from dusty villages to luxurious
residential districts and from ancient
houses with windtowers to ultra-modern
shopping malls.
One
of the city's top attractions is its excellent
shopping. As an open port with low import
duties, Dubai can offer an incredible
range of top brand names at cheaper prices
due to the tax-free environment, and 'shopping
tourists' are drawn from around the world
to this paradise of malls, souks, boutiques
and modern department stores selling everything
from Paris fashions to Japanese electronics.
The annual Shopping Festival attracts
millions of tourists to the city for a
shop-til-you-drop holiday.
