Cheap Dubai Holidays

One of the seven Arab Emirates countries, Dubai holidays are fast becoming one of the top destinations for many people's vacations. While known for its opulent wealth, cheap Dubai holidays are still possible.

Dubai is separated into two parts on either side of the Creek – Deira on the north and Bur Dubai on the south. When on your Dubai holiday, the architecture, both modern and ancient, is what first grabs your attention.

Gaze in awe at the world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai or explore the Bastakiya Quarters with their traditional houses and tall wind towers to catch passing breezes and cool the homes.

Mosques are monumental and stylish, including the imposing Grand Mosque and the Jumeirah Mosque – one of the most beautiful mosques built. The Dubai museum allows visitors a glimpse into the history of this fascinating country as does the Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House which dates from the 1800s.

You can spend days shopping in this tax free haven on your Dubai holiday, window shopping in extensive department stores or haggling in the many Souks. The Deira spice souk is a scented wonderland with exotic spices from around the world, while the Gold Souk one of the world's largest retail gold markets.
