Explore the crumbling walls of the Jumeirah Archeological site and feel the impressive weight of history pressing down upon you. It is a foreign landscape that stands in striking contrast to the vibrant cityscape glimmering on the horizon, replete with life and purpose. Of special note is the Deira district, home to spectacular entertainment and dining options, and a quality Deira hotel Dubai offers its international visitors can be found at the Copthorne Hotel Dubai. Featuring luxury interiors and warm Arabian hospitality, this Dubai hotel will ensure repeat visits. In addition to being a shopping and entertainment mecca, Dubai is also home to a fascinating array of culture, apparent in its beautiful mosques as well as its prehistoric archeological dig sites that present an interesting glimpse into the landscape before it was altered by the juggernaut of progress. The Jumeirah site is one of the four significant archeological sites in the country. It predates the advent of Islam in the country and numerous artefacts have been discovered such as pottery, coins, tools and other assorted items, all of which are now displayed at Heritage Village and the Dubai Museum. When you’re in the country, make sure you check out of the other sites of archeological significance such as the ancient graveyards of Al Sufooh and Al Qusais and the archaic fortress-village of Hatta set within a lush oasis in the middle of the Arabian Desert.
