Dubai and the Emirates Cruises

In Dubai, where you would once find vast open spaces in the middle of the desert, now you will find state-of-the-art hotels, the world’s largest shopping mall, and even three gigantic palm-shaped man-made islands that stretch along the coastline of the Persian Gulf.

However, there’s more to Dubai than record-breaking buildings and epic construction projects. There are also many traditional souks to explore, the most famous of which is the Gold Souk in Dubai’s bustling commercial district. Here, more than 300 retailers sell jewellery, gems, and precious metals

Just a short drive from Dubai is the city of Amjan. Here you can explore Amjan Museum, a fascinating museum housed in an 18^th century fort. If you prefer more active pastimes, a 4x4 ride across the desert’s golden dunes might suit.
