When it comes to visiting the Middle East, there are a few things to consider. The people, their culture and habits are very different from those in Europe and the USA. Not all countries in the area are really open to welcoming foreign visitors. Dubai, however, is probably the most notable exception. Millions of tourists visit the city every year and the numbers seem to be growing.

Even though Dubai and its society are more allowing than other cities in the Middle East, you still have the responsibility to be respectful towards the local traditions. Islam is the dominant religion in Dubai.

The city is one of the seven municipalities that comprise the UAE, which is short for the United Arab Emirates. Dubai lies in the East of the Arabian Peninsula and is appreciated for its beautiful coastline and constantly sunny weather.

Nevertheless, the sea and the nearby desert are not really the reasons why Dubai is so incredibly famous right now. The city is opulent in every imaginable way, from what the people wear to what cars they drive, to the food they eat.

If you’re a fan of stunning, modern architecture and you’d like to see the view from the top of the tallest building in the world, then a vacation in Dubai might just be the thing for you. The Burj Khalifa and the Miracle Garden, along with the world-famous Burj Al Arab hotel are some of the most notable tourist attractions in the city.

But visiting alone won’t make for a great vacation. You have to taste the local specialties – an awesome place is Nusr.Et Steakhouse – and have fun in some of the most exclusive venues in the world. Not sure where to head first? Then you should read the Bling Dubai blog to make sure you’re making the most of your stay in the emirate.
