Getting Around
Just like any other busy city in the world, Dubai streets often become the victim of heavy traffics.

Where to Stay
Be it lavish hotels at the heart of the city or Airbnb accommodation hotspots, Dubai promises accommodation that suits any budget. If you are looking for luxury resorts in Dubai, consider options like Anantara World Island resort which might be a great choice. Here, not only will you be within easy reach of the city’s most coveted attractions, but you can also be one of the first persons to beat the crowd and gain entry to the Football world cup at the end of the year.
