A relatively new tourist destination, Dubai has gained in popularity in the recent years. It is essentially a desert city with superb infrastructure, liberal policies and excellent tourist amenities. Just 5 hrs from Europe and 3 hrs from most parts of Asia, Dubai makes a great short break for shopping, partying, sunbathing, fine dining, sporting events, and even a few sinful pleasures. It is a city of superlatives: for the fastest, biggest, tallest, largest and highest, Dubai is the destination.

The city of Dubai is situated on a coastal strip bordered by desert and gets very hot and humid in the summer. Cooler, more pleasant weather lasts from the end of September to beginning of May. In May, June, July, August and September the sun is intense and temperatures can touch 50 degree Celsius in the city and even higher in the desert! The heat coupled with humidity of 80-90% near the coast effectively precludes most activity outdoors for the daylight hours during summer.

If you are considering Dubai or Abu Dhabi is your next vacation, Dialaflight is a UK based travel website which provides flights and holiday packages. Here’s the links where you can get a link to Dubai Holidays and a flight to Dubai.

Abu Dhabi may be a modern city but it remembers its past. Forts, mosques and museums recreate a time in which the city was settled by 18th century tribesmen. Today, Abu Dhabi, which means ‘place of the gazelle’, is the capital of the UAE. It is cosmopolitan, with bold urban architecture and lush gardens. Here’s the link to your flight to Abu Dhabi.
