Rising out of the surrounding desert, Dubai is one of the fastest growing cities in the world; this short trip into the United Arab Emirates gives you a taste of intriguing old-meets-new Dubai. Explore the tiny historical quarter of Bastakiya � set on the banks of the snaking Dubai Creek � then visit the chaotic souqs, winding your way through the gold and spice markets. A Dhow Cruise with dinner is a wonderful way of spending an evening; sail along the Dubai creek under the moonlight.
