The liberal nature of Dubai, coupled with unprecedented investment and year round sunshine has turned the emirate into a popular tourist destination as well as an essential place to do business.
Dubai's social scene is a melting pot of cultures with east and west sitting happily side by side with enough to keep the fussiest foodie and the most ardent socialite smiling.
Dubai has a year round sunny climate with rain a very rare occurance, but remember to dress modestly and bring a sweater for those air conditioned malls and taxis.
