Because my husband knows I like exotic destinations he bought a vacation in Dubai as a present for my 30th birthday. He saw on the internet an offer at Christian Tour, a well-known travel agency in the country, with good prices and countless destinations. The flight was with Fly Dubai - quality services, the prices are average during the year, but very attractive offers also appear from time to time. For next year in April the flight for a couple is 1000 euros. The accommodation was at the First Central Hotel Suites located near Sheikh Zayed roads, just few minute away from Dubai Internet City subway and the main objective (Burj Khalifa, Mall of Emirates, Dubai Marina etc) is very modern are a mini-business center, tourist office, a quiet rooftop pool, well-equipped gym, recreational facilities or delicious kitchen (we had half board). The transportation to Dubai is great, because of the fuel price (which is very low) we traveled by taxi, but you can use the subway, bus and water transport. I recommend the taxi is very hot outside, it has air conditioning, you move quickly. Dubai is the largest city in the United Arab Emirates (number of inhabitants) and is located on the south coast of the Persian Gulf. The world views the city as being divided into two Deira - the old and the new - Jumeirah.
The tourist spots visited are:
Atlantis the Palm is a luxury resort located on the top of Palm Jumeirah. It was the first resort built on the island and is themed on the myth of Atlantis, but includes distinct Arab elements.

Dubai Marina is made up of a mall and promenade where there are no elegant cafes, artisan markets and luxury yachts or water. From here you need to go on a cruise to various destinations. You can buy offers online or you can take them directly from the companies in the port.

The Dubai fountain fascinated me from the first moment. Water dancing to the beat of a song...what can be more beautiful ?!

Dubai Desert is memorable. We purchased a safari and it may have turned out to be an unforgettable experience for the care-seeker in Dubai. We went through the desert with jeeps and then we dined in a Bedouin camp, with music, dances and entertainment.

Madinat Jumeirah is a 5 star resort that cares for 40 hectares and is a creature to look like a traditional arab. Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Burj Al Arab and Wild Wadi Water Park are within two kilometers of the private beach.

We could not leave Dubai, to join the beach, - Jumeirah Beach, but there are no other wonders and to extend to a level 43 Sky Lounge - a bar located on the 43rd floor in a building. The view is superb.
