In a city that is home to over 200 nationalities, Dubai has developed a culture that’s one of a kind and unlike any other city.
It is often regarded as one of the world’s most exhilarating and vibrant destinations that has something for everyone, from its swathes of golden beaches; world-class shopping, dining and nightlife; a city that can host electrifying events and sporting championships; and, for all the family, is one big adventurous playground.
Where else can you spend the morning on the beach, the afternoon snow-skiing and the evening camel riding in the desert? Where else can you dive with sharks in a shopping mall and watch dancing fountains at the base of the world’s tallest tower? Whatever your passion, whatever your age – Dubai will never disappoint with its abundance of attractions and year-round warm weather.
While many people are familiar with the iconic buildings that make up Dubai’s skyline, it is a city that is continually changing and evolving. There are so many new hotels and attractions opening every year that no-one can ever truly say they’ve ticked off Dubai!
In 2015, Dubai will see a number of new hotels open, including the Palazzo Versace Hotel, and the launch of the W brand into Dubai, with a W Hotel opening towards the end of the year alongside the creek in Festival City.
There are also a number of new attractions opening, including the Dubai Safari Park; an area of almost 400 hectares which will comprise a safari village, Arabian village, Asian village, African village, children’s zoo, Butterfly Park and botanical garden, in addition to educational and veterinary facilities.
Late 2015, the IMG Worlds of Adventure will open: this 1.5 million square foot project will be the world’s largest temperature-controlled indoor themed entertainment destination with a capacity to welcome in excess of 20,000 visitors a day.
Throughout the year, Dubai will host world-class events, including the month-long Dubai Shopping Festival, the Food Festival, as well as a range of sports, arts and music events that include: Omega Dubai Ladies Masters Golf, Dubai Rugby 7s, Sandance, Dubai International Film Festival and the Dubai Motor Festival.
