If you are looking for cheap holidays, Dubai is the most westernised of Middle Eastern cities, mixing a modern, cosmopolitan experience with ancient Islamic culture and beautiful natural surroundings. When to visit? The weather is always hot but it’s best to take cheap holidays to Dubai between autumn and late spring as it can be stiflingly hot and humid in summer. What are the must-see attractions? Dubai isn’t called the City of Merchants for nothing; there are about 20 shopping malls, traditional souks and markets. You can buy everything from fashion, gold jewellery, pearls, carpets and crafts. There’s even a festival of shopping so you can be sure to find great bargains – electronic goods are particularly cheap. Holidays in Dubai have plenty to do away from the shops, though. There’s wide range of great restaurants and nightclubs, there’s the nearby Bedouin Village, the beautiful Jumeirah mosque or take a water taxi ride around The Creek. What else is there to do? Go on safari. You can take a 4x4 into the desert and race through the dunes and wadi (rocky dry river beds), learn to ride a camel or go Scuba diving in the blue waters, which are home to turtles, dolphin and whale sharks. If you like sports, there’s the Dubai Classic golf, horse racing and traditional Arabian camel racing to enjoy.
