A landscape of incredible , opulent and skyscrapers looking over the city, the ultramodern city of Dubai located on the Persian Gulf is best explored via its efficient and reliable public transport system.  

There’s something about Dubai. Some say that it’s a city that has it all; pristine beaches, world famous hotels, centres, beautiful mosques and the most succulent cuisine. But that’s not all.

If visitors want to immerse themselves into the culture of this progressive emirate, it’s worthwhile looking into the of the city.

For centuries, Dubai has been to pearl divers living in a barren desert. The great geographer, Abu Abdullah Al Bakri made the first mention of Dubai in his book back in 1095. Back then, livelihood of many consisted of fishing, and the trading of gold and spices, all in an open vast desert environment.

Fast forwarding to the present day, Dubai has been successful in preserving its past through the world-famous souks (markets) which still sell fish, pearls, gold and spices. Head over to Bastakia, a historic neighbourhood in Dubai or the Old Souk for some shopping to get a glimpse of the action.
