  1. A Great Mix Of Cultures and Ethnicity

Dubai is perhaps only rivaled by New York City when it comes to hosting people of different cultures and ethnicity. However, in the case of Dubai, more than 90 percent of the population is made up of foreigners from different parts of the world, some of them are itchy feet travelers but a big number of them is of people who are there to work as expatriates. The rest 10 percent of the population is made up of the locals, Emiratis.

  1. Incredible Desert Safaris

If you go to Dubai and you do not take a desert safari, how will you ever say you were in Dubai? This is where you get into an SUV and a driver takes you out in the evening to catch the sunset from the desert. Dubai desert safari tours include dune bashing, camel riding, and much more. It is the best way to experience the deserts of Dubai.

  1. Unmatched Luxury

A city where the police will chase you down the highway in a Lamborghini is indeed something to write home about, not that you will commit any offence because such is not encouraged. Have you ever dreamed of so much luxury which can only be experienced but can never be explained? That is what Dubai offers.

Whatever feature Dubai was not endowed with naturally, they hired the best designers and engineers and they built it. For example, Palm Island is a man-made island with several hotels and mansions that are a preserve for the super wealthy people who can afford them. Keep your eye on the road and you will see cool luxury cars on a normal basis. The density of luxury hotels in Dubai is as high as in any other top travel destinations in the world.
