Visit the Historic Attractions with Cheap Holidays to Dubai
by Daisy Wilkinson Travel GuidesLocated in the Arabian Gulf's south-western corner,
Dubai is a globally renowned city of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is
known for its rich cultural heritage and warm hospitality, which has won the
hearts of millions of tourists over the years. Dubai is also home to
world-famous attractions, including the tallest building in the world, Burj
Khalifa. What makes this glamorous destination in the Middle East even more
popular is its tolerance and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. However, you are
required to be sensitive to their religious and cultural beliefs while
exploring certain attractions.
You'll get to know more about the history of the city
upon visiting some of its well-preserved historical attractions during your cheap Dubai holidays. The Dubai
emirate and its capital city have been ruled by the Al Maktoum family since the
early 19th century. It is the result of their liberal outlook and progressive
leadership that Dubai prospered to such an extent. Today, the city has become a
major business and tourism hub of the Middle East region. Under the leadership
of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai has become one of
the world's prominent cities.
During your Dubai
holidays, you'll get to explore the elegant malls and prominent
buildings of the city. The low costs of operation and logistics combined with a
world-class infrastructure and liberal policies of the government have
attracted many investors over the years. As a result, trade and tourism have shown
a steady growth, enabling the economy to expand and diversify. The low crime
rate and political stability of the country have also resulted in a steady
increase in the number of tourists and the establishment of businesses in the
city.
Dubai Creek is one of the places you can visit during
your Dubai holidays. This
particular area gives you some important insights into life in this city before
the discovery of oil. You'll also get to witness the traditional ways of
trading while enjoying your stroll. From one of the small water taxis called
'abras', you can get some attractive views of the Creek and the traditional
boats called 'dhows'. You can also visit Bastakiya, an old neighbourhood in the
city, to get a glimpse of the times when life in Dubai was quite laid-back and
there was hardly any hustle-bustle of crowds.
While in Dubai, you can also visit Sheikh Saeed's
House, which was constructed in the late 19th century near the sea. It was
built by the ruler for the purpose of observing the shipping activities. The
building is a great example of the region's fantastic architecture and features
wind towers and rooms that have been built around a courtyard. During your time
spent in the city, you can also visit the Jumeirah Mosque. Although Dubai has
many mosques with fascinating designs, this particular mosque has been built
according to the medieval Fatimid traditions. The mosque looks very attractive
after sunset when it is illuminated by subtle lighting. It is also one of the
most photographed attractions in the city.
If you’ve got some time at the city’s airport after
arriving in any of the cheap
flights to Dubai, you can explore the exciting facilities offered at
the Terminals.
