Dubai is a modern and rapidly growing city that is full of high quality luxury hotels, and is famous for certain well known tourist attractions such as The Palms, The World and the Burj Al Arab Hotel on the Jumeirah Beach resort; this article will show you that Dubai has much more to offer tourists than just these well known attractions. Dubai literally has something for everyone.Culture is very important in Dubai both for the entertainment and education of tourists and in keeping the traditions alive for future generations of locals. There are several places to visit, tours and tourist attractions devoted to the native culture of the UAE. You can visit numerous museums and galleries throughout Dubai as well as places such as the Dubai dhow wharf where you can view traditional dhows that still trade today in exactly the same way they have for centuries. There are also many opportunities and tours available to experience the traditional Bedouin lifestyle, and the local area including both four wheel drive safaris of the deserts and four wheel drive wadi tours. (Many of these tours break for a meal or stay overnight in traditional Bedouin style camps.)Modern tourist attractions such as the indoor ski slope Ski Dubai which houses five full sized snow ski runs as well as toboggan runs inside with real snow 365 days a year are a huge hit with both tourists and locals alike. Dubai also has water parks the most famous and well known one being the Wild Wadi Water Park.

Dubai also has a vibrant and modern night life with many venues to dance and party the night away – something many people do not associate with an Arab country.
