Dubai is truly a cosmopolitan and multicultural city, glamorous and exciting. The city itself sits some 15 miles along the coastline and is split by Dubai Creek. Deira to the north, now the city centre and Bur Dubai to the south, which is the original section. Jumeirah Beach to the south of the city is most frequented by holidaymakers attracted by its 8 mile long stretch of soft sandy beach and modern, luxurious hotels. Dubai is a city of many contrasts. Where else could you shop for designer clothes, sunbathe on glorious sandy beaches, play golf, take a camel ride, go scuba diving , go deep sea fishing, and dine in some of the most cosmopolitan restaurants in the world
