Dubai for Visitors
Dubai the "city" is really a semi-autonomous "Emirate" (see UAE fastfax). Dubai is split into two sections: Deira Dubai, and Dubai. The city is cut by its ancient creek which still feeds dhows and ships laden with spices and other goods all throughout the region. No visit to Dubai is complete without seeing the Burj Al-Arab, among the city's most unusual creations (though there are several more in the works), the creek, the gold souk, and the desert. Despite being in the Middle East, Dubai has grown to be a tolerant city where many very different types of people can co-exist together. The city boasts some of the Gulf's best nightlife, bar scene, and restaurant offerings as well.
