Here’s an interesting point of view on Dubai and how Arabian people are spending money like water to build these massive, giant buildings to represent their wealth and power while U.S. stocks are plummeting to the bottom.
| Dubai is fast emerging as tourist destination of choice. Especially European tourists are flocking toward the sunny beaches and above average night life is Dubai. When I was compiling a list of places to visit in year 2009, City of Dubai was amongst the top 10 places to see. It is in-fact one of those cities, where skyline changes fast, really fast. If you take a look at this picture taken in 1990… It was nothing more than a barren land where you find nothing but blazing heat and dust. At that time, very few people believed that this wasteland could ever be transformed into one of the most successful cosmopolitan city in the world. |

Here’s a cool hotel to stay at Dubai.
|
Chic luxury emerges from a dramatic desert landscape.
Contrast. The vast sandscapes of the Arabian landscape versus the
lush surrounds of green in an extensive polo property. The conventional
opulence of Dubai luxury hotels versus signature Per Aquum chic
subtly merged with the elegant forms of local architecture and design.
Set amidst green fields and palm trees, Desert Palm offers sensually designed
accommodation – Arabia touched with the avant-garde.
Twenty-four ‘naturally modern’ guest suites and pool villas, each showcasing
its own distinctive design embodying the simplicity and elegance of
the estate’s graceful surrounds.
The backdrop: Desert Palm polo estate, showcasing four championship
polo fields, a riding school, stables, rare birds, endless sunshine and
vast green landscapes.

Here’s a cool underwater hotel being built in Dubai.
Currently under construction in Dubai, Hydropolis is the world’s first underwater luxury hotel. It will include three elements: the land station, where guests will be welcomed, the connecting tunnel, which will transport people by train to the main area of the hotel, and the 220 suites within the submarine leisure complex.
This will be a hotel where those who do not dive - or do not even swim - can experience the tranquillity and inspiration of the underwater world. |

Here’s some useful tips for traveling to Egypt.
You will need a visa that costs $15 (US) per person. You can buy this in £ sterling or US$ on arrival for stays of up to one month.
Please contact the Egyptian Embassy or Egyptian Consulate nearest you.
Book your tour early enough through a trusted travel agency to avoid troubles in booking tickets, hotel reservation and daily tours.
Buy a good guide book “Egypt : Lonely Planet” and educate yourself about Egypt before visiting.
Pets may enter Egypt provided you provide a certificate of origin and a health certificate. There are no forms for this, but a dated, signed letter is acceptable.
Remember to declare your valuables when entering Egypt or they may be confiscated upon your departure. This applies especially to computers, photographic and video equipment, which must have their serial numbers recorded by customs in your passport.
