Dubai is an excellent choice as a venue for meetings or trade shows as it's ideally located for events which attract people from various continents. If one looks at the number of flights arriving daily at the Dubai airport and the vast size of the airport, it's hard to imagine that Dubai only started an airline in 1985 while most countries have had airlines since early 1950's.

The Jumeirah beach area offers a select number of world class resorts such as the Burj Al Arab. The Dubai Burj Al Arab hotel must certainly be the most famous hotel in the world and its quality of service and its magnificent and luxurious facilities are unheard of in the hotel business. The other Dubai beach hotels are also of excellent quality and some are surprisingly affordable. The Dubai Hilton Beach hotel and the Jebel Ali resort for example offer great deals for families or visitors that can't afford the rates at the Burj Al Arab but still would like to stay at a 5 star Dubai resort along the beach.

Dubai has plenty of tourist attractions and activities for both the young and the old. An indoor ski piste was even created and opened its doors only a few months back. Other great Dubai activities are the Dubai desert safari's by jeep, snowboarding on the sand dunes, playing 18 holes at one of the many world renowned golf courses or even just going shopping at the numerous shopping malls. Prices for many items are considerably cheaper then back home so do have a look as you will surely find a great deal. You should spend a few hours at one of the Dubai souk's such as the Dubai gold souk. A visit is a great experience which should be done by anyone visiting Dubai. Don't forget that you are expected to haggle about the price but always do it with a smile on your face!
