A Few Words About Dubai
Dubai is the city that keeps on growing. It’s become one of the most desirable destinations in the world, capturing the hearts of thrill seekers and travel addicts.
Dubai is one of those places that causes confusion, mainly because Dubai is both a city and an Emirate. In fact, Dubai is the capital of Dubai – see, confusing right? But to make things easier, Dubai (the Emirate) and Dubai (the city) are both within the United Arab Emirates.
The city of Dubai is what we’re going to talk about here, because for a lot of wide-eyed travellers, Dubai is becoming the place to go.
Where To Stay In Dubai
Our Pick
Skydive Over The Palms
The palms are one of the worlds most extraordinary man made structures, an archipelago that takes the form of a sun soaked palm tree from above. And what's the best way to soak up a birds eye view of something that spectacular? A skydive!
The stunning view of the iconic Palm Jumeirah island from 13,000 ft is something to behold. Dubai is home to the world's biggest skydiving school so there's nowhere better to free fall at 120mph than here.

Dubai actually has a really low crime rate. Violent crime is rare. You may get some petty theft and bag snatching in crowded areas but besides this, Dubai is safe to travel to.
December to March is generally the best time to visit Dubai weather-wise and it also complements good weather in destinations like the Maldives for a multi-centre holiday with a Dubai stopover.
All tourists and residents are required to dress modestly, no matter how hot the climate. That is why a lot of people wonder how to dress in Dubai before they book their trip. A tourist will not end up in prison if they aren't dressed properly.
