Experience Dubai. Celebrate life.

Part of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is sited at the Arabian Gulf coast. The emirate covers around 3,900 sq km, while the city itself is roughly 35 sq km. Dubai shares its borders with Abu Dhabi in the south, Sharjah in the north-east, and the Sultanate of Oman in the south-east. Dubai Creek, a natural inlet from the Gulf, divides the city in two. It is said that though Dubai's economy was built on the oil industry, today, oil and natural gas account for less than six percent of the emirate’s revenues

Travel
Dubai has a sub-tropical, arid climate with infrequent and irregular rains. The best time to visit would be between November and March, when the weather is pleasant and sunny without being unbearably hot and humid, which is the case from June to August. Winter temperatures hover around 23 degrees C in the daytime, while nights are cooler.

Dubai is a melting pot of cultures and nationalities, and you would be hard-pressed to not find someone who speaks your language. Official language is Arabic, though English and most other common international languages are widely used for business and commercial purposes.
