A Royal Caribbean Cruise is always a treat and add to that a visit to glamour city Dubai in the United Emirates and your adventure is just about complete. Read up about this stunning holiday with Royal Caribbean Cruises.

What is it about Dubai that gets visitors going? Of course it is the ultimate shopping destination with every retail outlet and brand imaginable available in vast air conditioned shopping malls that are an experience in themselves.

Dubai is a tax free haven and prices of goods reflect this with amazing bargains to be had every day of the year never mind during the Dubai Shopping Festival. It’s an Arabic Kingdom that caters to every taste imaginable and not only in the retail arena of fashion, jewellery, art works and more.

It’s the same for food. The selection of excellent dining experiences is awesome and there is truly something for every palate from American, Mexican, Japanese to Chinese and Arabic to mention just a few. Anybody for cocktails? Look no further than Dubai’s range of bars and hip clubs often situated in interested places with views over spectacular vistas.

But it’s not all imported culture. Visit the Heritage Village and it’s easy to witness a different Dubai where the local Emiratis have fun performing and listening to their own songs, dance and traditions. Visit the creek and watch the dhow, the traditional wooden boat, and the abras weave along the waterway while smoking some sheesha.

Then there’s the tranquil, restored Bastakia area or multicultural Karam and Satwa that allow you to enjoy a Dubai away from the credit card devouring frenzy of the Dubai geared to separating the visitor from his money.

If retail shopping is not your style then try some activities. Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve just an hour’s trip from Dubai was inspired by South African game reserves. 225 km2 of truly Arabic vegetation and wild life is worth a visit for sheer uniqueness.

Then there is the Wild Wadi Waterpark for those who love thrills and water fun. The Jumeirah Mosque’s exquisite structure is magnificent and one of the most photographed landmarks. Visit Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum House to view one of the oldest residences in the city. Check out the Marian to admire the world’s most luxurious yachts.

For something totally different try out Ski Dubai for a rather ingenious ‘skiing in the desert’ experience. SplashLand and WonderLand offer nearly 20 hectares of fun and water activities and to get an overall feel of Dubai take a double-decker ride through the city on the Big Bus.

There is something for everybody in Dubai. Glitz, glamour and retail therapy share the stage with family fun and thrilling activities and a look into the Arab world. Book your trip to Dubai with Royal Caribbean Cruises.
