Holidays around the world, to finish in the most luxurious location in the world!

Because i was heading out on a holiday trip around the world, i wanted my last week to be a relaxing one. This was what i wanted to do, to have a working travelling holidays, then at the end to have a relaxing holiday. I had managed to save enough to spend my last destination in Dubai. I don’t really want to let you know how much, but I worked like stink throughout the 6 month travelling period.

So here I was in Dubai, but nowhere to stay, probably not the best thing in the world. I travelled down Sheikh Zayed road, finding only hotels that would cost about 200 pounds a night at the least. This I couldn’t really afford, so I scoured the rest of the city in search of something a little more in my price range. Although I really wanted to stay at the Burj Al Arab, this really wasn’t suitable, then I located one that was just right. The Copthorne hotel was available, and it was 4 stars.

The rooms in here looked fantastic, it was basically a luxury hotel. It only cost 80 dollars a night, which meant I could stay for about a week. I investigated everything I could possibly visit. I took a walk along the Jumeira beach and saw the artificial landscaping of the hotels and villas. The Burj Al Arab is a truly amazing piece of engineering, so i had to visit. Unfortunately I could not enter, apparently the food and drink costs more than my room does for the week.

The food was spectacular and I have been to the likes of Thailand, Sri Lanka, Italy and Florida, Dubai offered by far the best cuisine. I plan on going back on Dubai holidays more often, Maldives holidays and Sri Lanka holidays will be the next on the list. These are the holidays that I recommend to you, they are by far the best in the world (in my opinion).

Why is Dubai a great place to holiday?

In the United Arab Emirates, there is a very booming and powerful city called Dubai. Although the city is not over run with people, it does have the most dense population in the UAE. The economy in Dubai is ever on the rise, with all kinds of entrepreneurs and massive city buildings.

Dubai has become an extremely attractive tourist attraction. Dubai is also home to some smaller districts that lay on the outskirts, but at the centre the city is littered with some pretty amazing buildings, including the worlds tallest building. If you go to the market you will find an incredible amount of sellers, trying to flog everything and anything. When you travel deeper into the heart of Dubai, everything seems to become a bit more business like, or at least sovereign like. The Sheikh Zayed road stretches for miles and runs parallel to the Jumeira beach, there isn’t a drop of litter on the floor anywhere.

Because of its beauty and most uniqueness, Dubai holidays have become extremely popular, the majority of them are very expensive, but are very worth it. The hotels in Dubai offer some of the most amazing accommodation in the world, they are generally unmatched by any other country. Dubai is, let’s not forget home to the self proclaimed 7 star hotel, the Burj Al Arab. This is the most amazing hotel in the world, incomparable to anything else. It was built on a man made island and its design resembles a sail on one of the dhow sail boats from the Arabian vessels. Every single room is like a king or queens bedroom, they are amazing, the quality is stunning.

Dubai holidays can be experienced by everyone, although very expensive they are worth it, the only other holidays that match up to Dubai are Maldives holidays and Sri Lanka holidays, for the amazing spa holidays they offer.
