Welcome to the place where Friday is the weekend. Where the weekend nightlife belongs strictly to the 21 and up. Thinking of a place where you never have to leave your hotel for a good time and smooth drink? How about a good meal costing under 10 dollars and after that hitting up a local club for the same price! You cant find a better time for less at any place other than Dubai. Dubai is the second largest of the seven city states in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is located directly within the Arabian Desert, so make sure you bring PLENTY of SPF. The best time to experience Dubai is from October to May. These months bring you weather ranging from 20-30C; translated into Fahrenheit is 68-95 degrees. Think this is hot? Visit Dubai from June to September with weather climbing to a scorching 104 degrees Fahrenheit! I am not sure about you, but Ill visit during the recommended months. To get a glimpse of what Dubai was like before electricity and air-conditioning, check out the Old Bastakiya District. The Old Bastakiya District was cooled by wind towers. Bastakiya is considered the cultural center of Dubai, where the local market is bustling with noise and people making it. The historic buildings have magically transformed into a plethora of museums, galleries, and restaurants. Interested in seeing all the culture Dubai has to offer? Check out the Dubai hop-on hop-off tour. It cost fifty-five American dollars but it is well worth it because you get two exciting tours for the price of one!
