Dubai Beach

The glittering emirate of Dubai, with its world-renowned hotels, is the favourite holiday destination for many across the globe. Its proximity to other exotic places like Doha and Muscat, indescribably exhilarating sightseeing attractions, and a slew of events and festivals throughout the year all offer countless reasons for planning holidays here. Some of the major festivals in Dubai’s calendar of events are listed below.


Dubai Shopping Festival


The Dubai Shopping Festival is one of the compelling reasons for visiting the destination. Anyone planning to go on Dubai holidays in the near future would do well to keep the period of 20th January to 20th February 2011, the duration of the festival in mind. There would be dozens of sky high discounts, tax free shopping, and millions of dirhams to be won in daily draws and prizes.
