Dubai Beaches
Dubai is one of the seven United Arab Emirates. Located on the Persian Gulf, Dubai City is a magnet for tourists seeking the ideal of a desert island with the practicalities of a modern city. Dubai is surrounded by desert and is home to numerous historic landmarks and architectural relics of bygone eras. However, it is the beaches that have made this Gulf city one of the most popular destinations in the Middle East.
Visitors will have no trouble locating a Dubai beach resort. They are scattered along the coastline and more are being constructed on the three artificial islands (the largest in the world). The resorts feature restaurants, spas, golf courses, shops, and entertainment venues. Many have their own secluded beaches.
The beaches themselves are stunning, with the deep blue of the Persian Gulf offsetting the golden sands. Sunbathing and swimming are certainly popular activities. As are surfing, sailing, and deep sea fishing. Divers can explore the beautiful reefs off the shores or investigate numerous ship wrecks in the area. The more adventurous can take a seaplane or helicopter tour to get a birds-eye view of the seascape.
At night, the beach areas offer a variety of entertainment venues. Live music, concerts, film, and theater are all available. Restaurants around the beachs offer not only local Middle Eastern fare, but cuisines from all over the world, especially Indian, Chinese, and Mediterrarean dishes.
Dubai has it all. From balloon rides to romantic sunset cruises, from high speed boating to snoozing on the beach, from camel rides to dune bashing in a 4×4 vehicle. And all within breath-taking view of the Gulf.
