Dubai is a modern city with white sand beaches, sunshine, world-class shops and luxury hotels. Added to this, there is a vibrant nightlife, historical monuments, sports marinas, scuba diving sites, and jeep safaris in the desert dunes, making it a fascinating destination. It is also a city of contrasts that combines modern skyscrapers with old mosques and bazaars. The old parts of Dubai, such as the Bastakiya District, also have interesting museums and beautiful architecture. You can take a cruise on the Dubai Creek that flows through the city, discover the old fort called Al-Fahidi with its museum or tour the historical Burj Dubai building and the Palm islands.
