Dubai is the perfect destination for a luxury holiday - with plenty of sunshine, clear blue waters, a wealth of shops, numerous sporting opportunities and ever more decadent hotels springing up all the time, the emirate offers holidaymakers a taste of the Middle East with more than a touch of glitz and glamour. Sun worshippers will likely fall in love with Dubai for its pristine beaches and warm climate, while admirers of architecture will find much to mull over when it comes to the region's super-modern skyscrapers and resorts and traditional mosques, forts and famous houses. Visitors who prefer city living might feel that there is little excuse for leaving the shiny, polished centre of Dubai, but those who choose to head out of the area's built-up parts will be rewarded with an awe-inspiring desert vista and stunning mountain scenery. Golfing fans in particular will be pleased with Dubai's various clubs and courses, many of which have been built in beautiful natural settings. Tourists looking for a glimpse of the Middle East's traditional and exotic side would do well to journey out into the desert on a special safari or perhaps soak up the sights, sounds and smells of Dubai's many souks or markets. In terms of entertainment, Dubai is regularly visited by many of the biggest dance and theatre groups in the world and boasts a wide array of clubs, bars and restaurants, as well as special events and festivals. Those looking for a spot of retail therapy on their Dubai holidays might want to time their visit to coincide with the Dubai Shopping Festival in June, while the Dubai International Film Festival offers ten days of cinematic entertainment in December, for example. History buffs will need to ensure they do not leave Dubai without visiting the Dubai Museum within the confines of the Al Fahidi Fort and Heritage House, parts of which were built back in 1890. Other must-see old and new landmarks and attractions include the Burj Al Arab, a hotel built in the shape of a sail, a manmade archipelago of 300 islands off Dubai's coast known as The World, Dubai Zoo and the Khor Dubai bird sanctuary. Airworld Tours is an independent tour operator offering affordable luxury Dubai holidays and UAE holidays.
