10 hotels in Dubai: Best hotel deals for 2023
Forty years ago Dubai was a small desert town, isolated from the world and considered a “hardship posting” for those who were sent there on business. Fast-forward in time and it’s sometimes hard to imagine that this dynamic and world-famous city was ever once just sand. Glittering skyscrapers, a 12-lane highway, the world’s biggest, fastest, best. But that’s the beauty of the city: scratch its shiny surface and the Arab heritage and hospitality is still there. Old souks, wind towers, and forts are nestled adjacent to the monuments of modernity. With 200 nationalities living and working peacefully alongside one another, Dubai is a truly global city with a huge heart.
