Dubai lately ranked 7 out of 55 top residential markets all over the world based on its yearly price progress. As a nation, it is has fared well on the economic activity, political clout, knowledge and influence and the quality of life fronts- factors that have contributed greatly to this ranking.

 

In an atmosphere like this, it is very much possible to find the amenities and government care programs that make living easier. Whether it is an expatriate or a local Emirati parent, care for infants and older children is abundant.

bashing and similar adventure sports nearly always want a baby care center.

EasyLivingDubai has some excellent help for moms and dadssightseeing in Dubai while CreativeMumz lists down some great nurseries you can drop off your child at.
Considering things like a short stay, temporary bookings at hotels apartments in Dubai and a busy tourist agenda, nurseries for toddlers and tweens can be the answer to your worries about your child’s well-being. Calmer leisure Dubai City activities like dhow cruises and camel riding are fine to have children tagging along, but overnight camping and desert skiing can tend to be a tad rough on children.
In case you really would like to have your entire family with you on your safari tour in Dubai, check out with our Dubai travel companyfor activities that are safe and just right to include your children.

Last year we told you about the annual equestrian event Dubai loves to associate itself with, the Dubai World Cup. Continuing where we left off, we would like to announce that it is that time of the year where the emirate will host the 2009 edition of the Dubai World Cup.
Executives and businessmen with an interest in horseflesh and travelling to the emirate during this time of the year for a MICE in Dubai will find the month of March a good time to indulge their interests. The world cup is to be held at the Nad Al Sheba Racecourse on March 28 this year.

The Arabs have always been proud of their horseflesh and many of the top horses currently competing at the races have descended from pure Arabian bloodlines. While this certainly adds to the fierce competition, it never fails to remind spectators of the aesthetic leanings of the sport.

 

Information on the events and races included in this year’s world cup can be found at Dubai World Cup, after which you could visit our Dubai travel company for accommodations and transport bookings.
If the many luxury hotels of Dubai are not what you may be looking for, never worry; the 3-star and 2-star hotels we are connected with offer incredible deals and comforts. We can make you a Dubai hotel booking keeping your meeting venue and the world cup venue in mind, so that you are not inordinately inconvenienced.

In case you are slow to catch up, it’s not a movie that I’m talking about. Dubai Bike Week 2009 is going to commence in a couple of days and I for one, cannot wait to hear that sweet sound of motors revving and zipping around in a flash of wind and color!

 

Motorbike enthusiasts and professional bikers already know everything there is to know about this event and

bikers in the Middle East especially are definitely gearing up to travel to Dubai. Incase your accommodation and travel are not yet arranged to attend the 3-day festival, then might we suggest making a Dubai hotel booking with us.

Most professional bikers and aspiring stunt artists prefer to travel light and while I doubt a Dubai car rental will be required, an affordable place to stay will definitely be on the cards.
Among the hotel apartments in Dubai that are closer to the venue (Dubai Festival City) bikers and people coming on a safari tour in Dubai have some comfortable options. The Crowne Plaza,InterContinental Dubai and the W Hotel all have comfortable rooms and might be just what you are looking for. If you would like to discuss available options further, give our Dubai travel company a quick call.
Making a hotel booking in UAE on a short notice can be difficult, butOne World fortunately has a number of well-placed contacts with concierge services in Dubai. Just call us.
If you plan to extend your Dubai City tours to include somesightseeing in Dubai, then check out the various Dubai tour packageswe have. We customize them to fit any budget and we know just what adventurous bikers would love.

Seven Million People Making a Dubai Hotel Booking Cannot be Wrong

You read right dear tourist.
Dubai saw almost 7 million people booking suites, rooms and hotel apartments in Dubai in 2008. The 6,996,449 guests Dubai’s hotels played host to last year helped pull in revenue that totaled Dh 15.25 billion- a record of sorts for the emirate that revels in breaking and setting records. 
Despite unnecessary whispers of a financial meltdown, these figures do much by way of contributing to some relief for the city-state, especially when tourism plays such a vital role in the workings of Dubai. 
construction houses, hotel rooms are dubai

Thanks to the busy construction houses, hotel rooms are added every few days to the already extensive inventory of hospitality establishments in the city. Tourists who are visiting for somesightseeing in Dubai or a MICE in Dubai need not worry though, not all of these establishments are priced high or overpriced. 

For tourists on a budget, there are options like the Admiral Plazaand York International hotels in Bur Dubai and the Dubai Palmand Orchid hotels in Deira Dubai. The Sheikh Zayed Road, an important trajectory that sidles along most of Dubai’s important buildings is also host to affordable options like the Ibis World Trade Center and Metropolitan hotels. 
A number of tourists come seeking an adventurous safari tour in Dubai and prefer roughing it out in the deserts on the outskirts of the city. A hotel booking in UAE at the Bedouin-style Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa may not be for the budget traveler, but it sure is a voyage in tranquility. 
Whatever the Dubai hotel booking you may be in need of let ourDubai travel company know. We have special offer tie-ups with the best of them.

A desert safari excursion in Dubai is one of the best activities to experience in the deserts of the Middle East. Dubai’s deserts have a number of possibilities and experiencing them all could result in quite the trip for your and your family/friends. 
For those visiting one of the UAE’s richest emirates on a small purse, consider a stay at budget hotels in Dubai where the accommodation is comfortable and the service friendly. Select your preferred Dubai discount tours package from the tour company you have chosen for a better deal.

A desert tour generally involves adrenaline-pumping activities like camping, camel safaris, quad biking and even aDubai buggy desert safari. 
Desert camping in Dubai for instance, has some wonderful options like overnight camping where you are surrounded by the calm and peace of the desert region for an entire night. Of course, there will be tour guides along to guide you but you could even opt for a stay at special luxury hotels in Dubai in case roughing it out is not for you. 
Dubai sightseeing tours on camel back are another Gulf novelty where tourists can go for a short ride in the desert along a camel track. The ride maybe a tad bumpy, but rocking on the ships of the desert is infinitely worthwhile. 
Whether you are visiting Dubai for conventions or for a short recreational trip, a desert safari in Dubai is equally enjoyable for both types of stays. If you are unsure about the arrangements though, hire an established travel operator that can help you out.

Okay. Here is something interesting for all you photography enthusiasts out there:
The Dubai Knowledge Village Conference Center is to hold the only photography exclusive event in the Middle East, Gulf Photo Plus 2009. If you are planning on visiting the emirate for Dubai City tours, this is one event you can add to your itinerary.

There is a panel of 13 expert photographers on board for the 5-day event, which will commence from 30 March. To keep professionals and amateurs alike occupied, 50 workshops have been organized on topics ranging from wedding photography and Photoshop skills to creative portrait lighting techniques and documentary photography.

The prices could be a tad steep, but the talent pool slated to make an appearance at the event are more then worth the money. You could get in touch with our Abu Dhabi tour company for transport and accommodation arrangements in case you are planning to attend.Check the event schedule here.
The photographic talent from Dubai alone is brilliant, to say the least. Everyday as I open my inbox, I come across photos clicked by individuals with an eye for detail and a penchant for tongue-in-the-cheek humor.

 

Travelers interested in visiting the real Dubai for an Arabian adventure cannot afford to miss out on the honest specimens of Dubai life as captured through the lenses of some really talented individuals:

Airport user fees in Dubai are not going to be raised for the next four years in a bid to take control of operating costs. From the looks of it, Dubai Airports are doing their best to assist economies dealing with a recession on their hands.

If you are planning a trip for sightseeing in Dubai and are coming in from another country, then use this to your advantage and make use of the money-saver opportunity it presents.

Unlike the escalating price of precious metals, travel and tourism rates are at a very pleasant level right now. This is a great time to visit the UAE and indulge in a safari tour in Dubai or even have aMICE in Dubai.

 

In the coming months, there is the Dubai Fashion Week to look forward to for those with a bend for the sartorial. The show will bring out the Autumn/Winter collection for 2009 and is to be held from April 5 to the 9th. 
For children, there are the Sesame Street themed entertainment zones to look forward to. These venues are going to be part of the Middle East’s first Universal Studio theme park.

And no, we are not referring to any penchants for metallurgy or meteorology.

 

It’s just a couple of weeks until two of the most awaited music festivals in the UAE commence- the Dubai Desert Rock Festivaland theSkywards Dubai International Jazz Festival (2009). A lot of head bangers and jazz connoisseurs are booking theirDubai tour packages with us to get to the venues in time.

Motörhead are planning to kick start the 2-day Dubai Desert Rock on March 6, while the Jazz festival headlined by James Blunt is expected to start earlier from February 25. Accompanying these notable artists are acts like Chimaira (US), Scarab (Egyptian), Sarah Mitchell (UK) and Mike Stern (US).

The rock and metal scene in Dubai is worth a mention here as the Dubai Desert Rock is the only festival of its kind in the Middle East. Since 2004, a succession of bands like Sepultura, Metallica, The Rasmus and Velvet Revolver has entertained the Emirati rock aficionados.
If you are visiting the Emirate for a Dubai City tour around this time of the year, then you might want to catch this year’s acts in all their writhing, screaming glory.
To parch your throat and keep in time with the spirit of rock, you could head to watering holes like Hard Rock Café on Sheikh Zayed Road or Touch to hear Pilipino, Australian, Canadian and even local bands belting out well orchestrated numbers.
For music enthusiasts sightseeing in Dubai can be a good experience, given its love for concerts and international acts. Make ahotel booking in UAE before February 25 though if you want to enjoy the jazz and rock festivals respectively.

Sightseeing in Dubai sans Worry about Finances

One very adverse effect I noticed in the Blogger service for blogging is that the visitors count it calculates increases every time you indulge in mundane activities like refreshing the page and whenever you switch from the dashboard to the blog page. For someone who likes keeping a record of statistics, this can be a difficult affair and if anyone else faces this same problem and knows a solution to it please let me know.

 

Sightseeing

Coming back to the objective of this blog, has anyone noticed the brouhaha being made over our fair Emirate and its financial status or lack of it by the Western media?

It is deeply demoralizing for the people residing in Dubai. As an Abu Dhabi travel company, we shall have you know that there are a number of people still coming into Dubai to stay and to enjoy the myriad attractions it has on offer.
I feel the best thing about Dubai is its regenerative nature. Reinvention and progress are two things the city-state has taken into its stride. This is one of the main reasons why there are people visiting Dubai not only for Dubai City tours and shopping but also for residence.
If you are planning a MICE in Dubai or a vacation, then this a very good time to visit. The DSF may have ended, but there are still a lot of traditional attractions that make summer a memorable time to stay in Dubai.
You could book a stay in any of the luxury hotels in Dubai or simply rough it out on a safari tour in Dubai (within ac dwellings). Visit Dadabhai Travels to book the perfect summer Arabian adventure.
