Anyone who’s ever visited the Persian Gulf and stayed in Dubai hotels will know just how much there is to do in this sun-kissed paradise. There are so many restaurants to choose from, offering the finest cuisine from all over the world, giving you a golden opportunity to eat something different every night.
The local souk markets are bustling and exciting, and there are some wonderful traditional products to be had there. Make sure you learn how to haggle, though, because you’re not expected to pay the price that’s on display. And if you’re in the mood for a more modern environment for retail therapy, the shopping malls are eye-catching and futuristic.
After all that bargain hunting, the best place to relax is beside the pool with an ice-cold drink. You can enjoy a peaceful afternoon while you top up your tan, and if you get a little too warm, simply step into the water to cool yourself down.
