Dubai Travel Guide
Known for generations as the "City of Merchants," Dubai welcomes visitors with an eclectic mix of Western comforts and Eastern traditions in what is considered to be the commercial and trading hub of the Middle East. It is here that business and leisure travelers to Holiday Inn Express® Dubai hotels will discover an Arabian adventure in an exceptionally modern city.
Boasting a beautiful, warm climate year round, as well as friendly people, a bustling business centre, cultural opportunities, great shopping, exquisite dining, exciting sports and a virtually crime-free atmosphere, Dubai is truly a world-class destination.
Spend some time discovering the rich Arab-Islamic culture at the Dubai Museum, which features an array of collections, including hundreds of unearthed artifacts dating back to the third millennium B.C.
See the forts, mosques, palaces and other attractions, like Heritage & Diving Village in the Shindagha district. Or visit Sheikh Saeed's House, home to a stunning collection of rare photographs, coins, stamps and historical documents.
Dubai also offers plenty of modern marvels that are a definite must-see during your visit from Burj Dubai, the tallest skyscraper in the world, to Internet City, an information-technology park where Microsoft, IBM, Nokia and local companies operate. Visitors to our hotels in Dubai may want to take advantage of some of the area's many tours, including bird watching, camel racing, desert safaris, dune driving and, yes, sand skiing, one of the most exhilarating experiences in Dubai. If shopping is what gets your adrenaline rushing, you're in for a treat. Whether you want to bargain at an Old World souk, or pick up something elegant at one of the region's upscale shopping malls, it's all just minutes from our Dubai hotels.
