holidaydestinations Jennie Ready's Dubai Dubai "The City of Gold" is a fascinating city to visit for many reasons; including its fantastic shopping, white sand beaches, wonderful cuisine, creative architecture and cultural experiences. Dubai is the 2nd largest of the Seven Emirates. However, it certainly doesn't do things by halves; with the city currently home to the tallest building in the world, the largest manmade island in the world (the Palms), world's largest shopping centre and, from earlier this year, the busiest airport in the world. Burj Khlaifa, the world's tallest building, is definitely worth a visit. It is a staggering 828 metres tall and holds a number of records including the tallest free-standing structure in the world. It certainly is an amazing feat of engineering and one you can't miss!! A must for any shopaholic is Dubai Mall. The mall has over 1200 shops, which will definitely keep you (and your credit card) busy for at least a day! If you prefer to do your shopping somewhere a bit more traditional, then it is worth going to the night markets and visiting the Gold and Spice Souks. A Dubai City Tour is a great option, as this will give you an overall picture of the city – or, if you would like a more unique experience, you could try a Desert Safari with BBQ dinner, or a Dhow Dinner Cruise. For an exhilarating family day out, there is Wild Wadi's Water Park, or Ski Dubai which is located at Mall of the Emirates. Dubai has many hotels to choose from, including a large number of 5-star hotels such as the well known Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the luxurious Burj Al Arab and the magnificent Atlantis The Palm – which even has an underwater restaurant and its own Dolphin Bay. Emirates flies out of Auckland 3 times per day, making Dubai easy to get to and a great stopover choice.
