Visit Dubai This Summer! Dubai is an Emirate of captivating contrasts. From the timeless tranquillity of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. In a single day, you can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts, and from ancient houses with windtowers to ultra-modern shopping malls. The Emirate is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era. These contrasts give Dubai its unique flavour and personality; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia. Since earliest times, Dubai has been a meeting place, bringing together the Bedouin of the desert interior with the pearl-diver, the merchant of the city with the sea-going fisherman. Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) is an annual festival focusing on providing fun, knowledge and entertainment through a medley of events that puts the ‘pep’ back into summer for both adults and children. Each week during June to August, a series of weekly themed surprises unfold. Shopping malls become entertainment hubs providing shows and hosting special activities based on the different surprises. Combine business with leisure this summer! Enjoy discounted hotel packages and treat the family to a fun-filled holiday!
