The Art of Business

Traveling to Dubai

In recent years Dubai has become the center for trade, tourism, and entertainment in the Middle East. The city is located in the emirate of Dubai, one of the seven that constitute the United Arab Emirates. For centuries, Dubai has been a trade center for the region. However, in the past decade or so, the city has exploded into a major magnet for business and leisure travelers, especially the incredibly wealthy yacht and jet-set.

Thanks to the establishment of “Free Zones” by the government, many businesses can now operate in Dubai as if they were an off-shore company. This removes virtually all taxes from transactions and has made Dubai a hub for the importing and exporting of goods. Add to this the thriving real estate business and Dubai’s importance to financial markets becomes evident.

Corporate travelers will find that the many business hotels in Dubai are modern, clean, and have all the technology and services needed to do conduct business on a global level in the 21st century. A quick perusal of the restaurants Dubai will show cuisines from all over the world, so that any diet, preference, and budget will be easily filled.

Once the day’s business is complete, visitors can take advantage of the many entertainment venues throughout the city. Films, theater, performing arts, and concerts fill the calendar. Dubai is also developing their sporting venues, offering major competitions in tennis, golf, horse racing and cricket among other international sports. And if one can get away during the day, the waters around Dubai offer a variety of fishing, diving, and sailing options. Those wanting to take the dry route can take a desert safari and go dune bashing in the desert surrounding the city.
