Dubai is a futuristic, 24/7 city quite unlike any other in the world. In a mere 50 years, Dubai has grown from a town steeped in the traditions of pearl fishing and traditional trade, to the glittering desert jewel of the UAE. This truly global city offers so much to see and do it can arguably claim the accolade of being the world's playground. From the dizzying heights of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, to the winding alleys of Old Dubai and the polished interiors of the city's renowned malls, Dubai gives the impression that anything is possible.
Dubai's special 'free zones' have afforded international businesses a generous economic status, which has, in turn, cemented Dubai's place as a significant commercial hub. Combined with a wealth of unique experiences for solo travellers, couples and families, Dubai is not only a great place to visit but an enchanting place to call home as well. The best way to experience all that Dubai has to offer is with a stay in a luxury serviced apartment along Dubai's metro route and Sheikh Zayed Rd.

It's almost impossible not to be entertained in Dubai - there's something for people of all ages. Depending on how you count them, the city boasts between 10 and 15 theme parks and themed adventure venues. Some of the best theme parks are conveniently close to your luxury hotel apartments in Dubai. For fun in the sun and thrilling waterslides, it's hard to go past Wild Wadi Waterpark near Jumeirah Beach. The venue offers water slides and rides for people of all ages and capabilities. Visitors will discover a wave pool, two artificial surfing venues, and multiple slides including the 32 metre-high Jumeirah Sceirah - a waterslide that accelerates those daring enough to climb aboard to a heart-stopping 80km/h.
Further south of your luxury apartments in Dubai, you'll find Dubai Parks and Resorts - a collection of five theme parks sitting side by side including Legoland Dubai, MOTIONGATE Dubai, Columbia Pictures Dubai and BollywoodParks Dubai, the latter three devoted to rides and shows themed around the film industry and many of its best-loved characters.
In a city awash with towering skyscrapers and ultra-modern wonders it's nice to take a breather and spend some time getting to know the old Dubai. The best place to see what Dubai used to be like is the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood in the city's north. Lying along the banks of Dubai Creek, the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood is a collection of beautifully preserved traditional buildings and squares built using traditional materials including palm wood, sandalwood and stone. Many of the buildings feature Barajeel - high towers that take in air and cool the building below, an old-style form of air conditioning. Today, the district is used to showcase Dubai's historical roots and as a major venue for the city's arts scene, featuring rolling year-round exhibitions and festivals in film, music, dance, visual arts and sculpture.
To get to Al Fahidi from your long stay serviced apartment in Dubai, take a taxi to the Arabian Tea House Cafe. After a refreshing tea with mint, head into the Al Fahidi Historical District.
To quote a certain futuristic story set in a desert world, the spice must flow, and the 'spice' that flows through Dubai is Oud. Oud is derived from the heartwood of aquilaria trees after a certain mould infects them. It may sound a little off, but the fragrant result is something rather astonishing and irresistible. Dubai's love affair with the scent of Oud goes back centuries, and today the city's perfumers are world-renowned. Some of the best places to find your ideal scent are within easy travel distance of your family serviced apartments in Dubai, at the Mall of the Emirates. One of Dubai's largest malls, the venue hosts many of Dubai's most trusted and lauded perfumers. Two notable houses are Ajmal and Swiss Arabian. Be prepared to spend some serious time selecting your ideal scent - the business of matching a scent to each individual is taken very seriously.
Dubai is home to the largest mall in the world, Dubai Mall. Situated at the base of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall is almost a city in itself. Arrive at Dubai Mall from your serviced apartments in Dubai by taking a short trip northward on the Dubai Metro. Once there, be prepared to spend the entire day - there's that much to see and do. Inside, you'll find over 70 dining venues for breakfast alone, an aquarium and underwater zoo, an ice rink, a complete dinosaur skeleton, cinemas, a spooky 'haunted' theme park, and hundreds of boutique fashion shops, restaurants and much more. The highlight of a day at Dubai Mall is a journey up the Burj Khalifa itself to the observation deck, situated an impressive 555 metres above sea level. Be sure to book ahead - the attraction is so popular walk-ins are almost impossible to secure.
Dubai hugs the coast quite closely, so it's relatively easy to reach the city limits and head into the arid, desert landscapes of the region surrounding the city. The best way to experience the harsh landscapes of Dubai's surrounds is with a 4WD tour. The concierge at your hotel apartment in Dubai will be happy to assist in organising a trusted tour operator on your behalf. The typical desert safari includes travelling in a comfortable 4WD and experiencing desert life - including falconing (the sport of Emirati royalty), a stop at a traditional desert camp and finally taking in the stunning desert sunset. Some safaris also include overnight stays under the desert stars.
Dubai International Airport services the city of Dubai, a major global transport hub and home to Emirates Airlines. Citizens of some countries require a visa before entering Dubai, so it's best to check first. To get to your luxury apartments in Dubai, there are two main options. The first is to grab a taxi from the airport directly to your serviced apartments, a journey of around 20 minutes. A cheaper option is to take the Dubai RTA train from the airport to the Dubai Mall, then change over to the Dubai Metro to complete your journey, alighting at Internet City.
