About Dubai


LANGUAGE

Arabic / English

CURRENCY

UAE dirham (AED)

BEST TIME TO VISIT

October to May

Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, and also the name of the capital city. Already the largest city in the UAE, Dubai continues to expand by the minute. Set on the coast by the Persian Gulf, the climate is dry and desert, with small amounts of rain and very hot summers. During June-August, daily temperatures often reach above 40°C.

In contrast to many other Gulf states, Dubai's main income is not oil, but instead tourism and trade. It also has a more open attitude to foreign customs, which makes it a highly popular tourist destination. And the attractions are just about endless. Visit the worlds highest building (Burj Khalifa), go shopping in one of the many malls, enjoy long stretches of white sand beaches, try safari in the desert, play some golf or hit the inside downhill slopes.
