On the other hand, it will still expand in size due to the world famous man-made constructions such as the Waterfront, the three Palms, the World, the Universe, and Dubailand. A booking on one of the famous Dubai Hotels will allow you to know more of what Dubai has to offer.

The city of Dubai has higher returns from its tourism compared to other Emirates. The state of Dubai is usually referred to as a city due to rapid technological transformation over the past decades. People began recognizing the state as the Pearl of the Persian Gulf. Tourism is a big factor to the state's gross income aside from its decreasing oil supply. A construction boom producing renowned man made islands and other structures has been a big help to the expansion of commercial and corporate activity. Eventually, Dubai Hotels were established to accommodate the incoming visitors from overseas. Dubai is a captivating city, which offers a traditional past in the modern age.

Dubai is separated into two parts by a creek. Bur Dubai, which refers to the south of the creek, includes several historical attractions like the Bastakiya Quarters, the Dubai Museum and Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House. Some Dubai Hotels offers a travel package to these destinations that are part of the rich culture of Dubai. Bastakiya Quarters was famous for a collection of wind towers, which lined the creek on neither side. A trip to the Dubai Museum allows visitors to get a glimpse of traditional Arabian culture. Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House is also a museum owned by Shaikh Seed who is the grandfather of the present ruler. Other attractions are also present north of the creek in Deira. It is where the Al-Ahmadiya School was established back in 1912. Al-Ahmadiya School is the first school built by Sheikh to pay for the poor students of the state. Burj Nahar can also be found in the north part of the creek. It is one of the great three watchtowers, which provide a perfect backdrop for photographers.

An extraordinary attraction soon to be opened is the Hydropolis. It is an addition to the famous Dubai Hotels that is said to open sometime in 2009. It is a multi billion dollar underwater hotel, which provides visitors with a refreshing view of Dubai's waters.

There are also exciting festivals to watch out for in Dubai. Dubai authorities encouraged several organizations to uphold events throughout the year to further attract tourists. It starts with the Dubai Marathon in January that is a charitable funding event that offers a hefty prize. It then ends with Dubai's National Day Festival by the end of the year to commemorate the Emirates? independence from Great Britain. A stay in several Dubai Hotels is necessary if you want to take part in these events.
