Dubai is an attractive tourist destination thanks to its mesmerizing cultural heritage and distinctive natural beauty, from fascinating beaches to the desert’s huge golden sand dunes, as well as a hot climate all year round.  As an increasingly popular tourist destination and business hub, Dubai has been able to make an extensive foray into the Dubai property development market. With the introduction of freehold property legislation, there has been a prolific amount of interest in

the numerous property ventures that are available, both completed and yet to be finished.

Dubai is the city where men in white and women in black, where Thursdays and Fridays are the weekends, where the poor people are imported, and where it's home to the world's largest indoor ski slope and the one and only 7-star hotel. Above all though, Dubai is the city of construction. Tourists and business travelers will find something to provoke their imagination in this busy and cosmopolitan city. The central city itself is designed with ultra-modern Dubai property offices, hotels and shopping malls all set alongside the Creek. Overwhelming, charming, exciting, expensive and exhausting at once, Dubai is the most high class city in the Arab World.

Dubai today is flashy, fun and slightly surreal. Renowned for its sand, sun and shopping, it was once a tranquil town of coral-and-gypsum courtyard houses built by Persian traders and palm-frond huts housing Bedouin fisherman and pearl divers. Today shiny new Dubai property skyscrapers reflect the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai. The audacity of the city's rulers is breathtaking. Running out of coastline to build hotels? Build vast artificial islands with 120km of new beachfront.

The best time of the year to visit Dubai is between November and April, when the weather is coolest. The rest of the year you're more likely to be running from one air-conditioned environment to the next instead of getting out and exploring.
