A cultural food coma awaits you as you are served everything from vegetarian dishes to non-vegetarian dishes, like 'Sambusa' and 'Chello Kebab'. Dubai's street food includes many cuisines from around the world, so there is something for everyone.

Dubai-Land is a tourist attraction in Dubai as it offers cultural and entertainment activities. Dubai's retail therapy offers unlimited handicrafts, artistic, clothing and electrical products at relatively low prices compared to other metropolitan cities.

Many international universities are operating in Dubai, expanding its image as an education capital. The number of international students in Dubai is increasing rapidly.

The UAE is also a multicultural and religious emirate, and is home to many temples, churches, gurudwaras and other religious institutions.

Expatriates will boost Dubai's tourism as their families will come to Dubai.

Retail Therapy:  Dubai is a shopping paradise for retail shopping. The city is home to some of the largest shopping malls, such as the Dubai Mall, which is located in downtown Dubai. Nearly 1,200 retailers are offering high-street favourite brands like Zara and Gucci. One can also find luxury labels on fashion avenues.

Taxes on amenity and high-end fashion products are moderately low compared to other metropolitan cities. This is good news for shopaholics and many travelers visit Dubai for pocket-friendly shopping.

One can also visit the famous Deira Gold Souk Dubai, which sells gold, diamonds, platinum and silver at much lower prices than many European countries like the United Kingdom.

Dubai Harbour, the MENA’s Largest Marina: City of Gold is the largest marina in the Middle East and North African region (MENA). Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced the development of 'Dubai Harbor' project. The project is spread over 20 million square feet, which includes a 1,400 marina, port, a terminal, gourmet restaurants, attractive residential buildings, office workspaces, hotels, several cafes and a massive shopping center spread over 3.5 million square feet. Dubai Harbor also houses the Dubai Lighthouse.

The primary focus of Dubai Harbor is to promote marine tourism in Dubai. The port is being constructed to acquire a sufficient amount of land that can handle yachts up to 85 metres. There will also be a large influx of foot tourists, as a result of the port's proximity to the Palm Jumeirah and the new Bluewater. It also has a pedestrian bridge connecting it to the western crescent of Palm Jumeirah.

Architectural Marvels: Dubai is not a regular tourist destination; It offers a unique experience and a lavish lifestyle. Grand hotels like the Address Hotel are one of a kind. From beach resorts to fine dining on skyscrapers, Dubai has it all. Dubai has many hotels that attract tourism due to their facilities and beautiful skyline views along with many delicious cuisines.

Tourists had the opportunity to stay in hotels located on the waterfront in the city center, overlooking the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper. Furthermore, Burj Al Arab is one of the lap of luxury, consisting of approximately 100 room suites offering exclusive amenities.
