Dubai started off as a relatively small fishing settlement but then became a major trading route which resulted in the city quick becoming a mecca as a leading international business center, which exploded with the discovery of 'liquid gold : oil' in 1966. The skyline of Dubai is not quiet so busy with cranes these days but a slowdown in its rapid expansion will be appreciated by all those who now visit this city. The world class hotels, shopping malls and theme parks have converted this city into a tourist mecca. There are two main parts to the city of Dubai, Deira on the northern side and Bur Dubai to the south. Both of these districts offer differing attractions however there are top quality hotels, shopping in both districts. Dubai is trying to focus very clearly on tourism into the future and as Oil becomes more scarce this area of the world will endeavour to change or face its own demise.

Apart from this top class hotels there are alternatives if people wish to experience the real Arabia. You can stay in a souk or a Bedouin tent with your own dancers shimmering under the starlit sky. One of Dubai's main attractions lies in the sharp contrast between moderninity and tradition. From a desert oasis to the huge number of golden beaches, camel races, horse races this city has a lot to excite.
