UAE Tourism Pages - Why Dubai? Welcome to Dubai -- one of the world's most exciting new travel destinations. Lying on the blue waters of the southern Gulf and backed by the majestic desert, Dubai offers visitors year-round sunshine and five-star luxury... plus the adventure of a unique Arabian experience. Dubai -- one of the seven emirates which constitute the United Arab Emirates -- is a place of fascinating contrasts, a distinctive blend of modern city and timeless desert, east and west, old and new. Known in the region as the "city of merchants", Dubai has, for generations, welcomed seafarers and traders to its shores. Today, this tradition of courtesy and hospitality lives on. The streets are clean and safe, and travellers are sure to be charmed by the city's warmth and friendliness. Dubai has something for everyone -- from the holidaymaker simply seeking a relaxing break away from the clouds and crowds, to the active tourist looking for a new and exciting experience. The city has superb facilities for sports, shopping, dining and entertainment and is well equipped to cater for the diverse needs of individual travellers, families or incentive groups.
