Dubai is the gateway to Arabia that not only offers an envious lifestyle but reveals so many more exotic and cultural locations throughout the Middle East and Asia. Despite Dubai's determination to be one of the world's leading cities for business and pleasure, developing a magnificent city of incredible modern beauty supported by excellent infrastructures of transport and telecommunications, it also blends its future with an unforgettable past of culture, customs and traditions. From the warm azure waters of the Arabian Gulf across the enigmatic dune seas to the rugged precipitous Hajar Mountains, there is something for everyone to enjoy from the serenity of dozing on crystalline beaches to the frenzy of crazy dune bashing with so much in between. Blue skies and wonderfully warm temperatures blanket a lifestyle that is as varied as it is safe for all of the family.
