Dubai is an exotic city that has incredible infrastructure in the middle of the desert. The most phenomenal transformation about Dubai is that this city which was a small fishing town turned to be a huge urban centre, and one of the most famous tourist destination in the Middle East. Dubai’s grand opulence and splendor attracts visitors from all over the world, who come to discover its souks and cosmopolitan culture with its modern malls and seven star hotels with its colorful culture, traditions and history.The big bus tour is a great way to see the centre of Dubai. There is another tour to the beaches. You can take a trip don the creek which is very relaxing. Taxis are very cheap and they take you to  the malls, the beaches, the restaurant and they are the best way of getting around.
