A holiday in Dubai

Another city rising out of the desert is threatening Las Vegas'' reputation as the world''s playground. Dubai may not have the wealth of casinos but it has spectacular architecture, breath taking beaches and hotels that take luxury to a whole new level.

Although it may be a well used clich?, you should ''expect the unexpected'' from Dubai. This desert oasis can satisfy your every whim with its sheer extravagance and show.

Look up when you begin your sightseeing tour. At 828 metres tall, the Burj Al Arab hotel is the world''s tallest building and Dubai proudly announces that it is over 300 metres taller than the next tallest the Taipei 101 in Taiwan.

Discover how Dubai transformed itself from unassuming village to global village at the Dubai Museum. You''ll also learn about its people from the nomadic tribes to today''s business elite.

Bastakiya is the place to go for a vivid glimpse into the inner workings of a more traditional Dubai away from the glass and metal high-rises and designer-boutique-filled malls. The area has been renovated recently to revive the region with modern touches such as cafes and art galleries with sand-coloured stone houses wrapped around a maze of lanes, courtyards and gardens.

Dubai allows us to act like children. If the desert heat gets too much then head over to the world''s largest indoor ski slope and practice your carving turns of tricks in the Fun Park. What is even more spectacular however, is that the slope is located within one the many city malls, giving you an idea of the size of the malls and hence the importance of shopping to the city of Dubai.

You can also slip and slide your way around the Wild Wadi water theme park which dominates some of the city''s sky line with shoots and flumes and is reputed to be one of the best water parks in the world.

Dubai has some of the greatest and most opulent hotels in the world. One rather unique experience can be found at the Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa. Located 45 minutes outside the centre of Dubai is a camp site like you have never seen before.

You''ll wake up in your own huge Bedouin-style tent to views of the Hajar Mountains and even your own private swimming pool. Camping trips to the New Forest will never be the same again.

Basically, Dubai can offer fun and frivolity or luxury peace and quiet but one thing is for sure, it won''t be in a manner that you expected.
