Definitely Dubai.
Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates.
It is a centre of economic and cultural activity in the middle east. Being close to Europe and the rest of the middle east it has grown in popularity as a tourist destination in recent years due to its liberal policies and huge developments in infrastructure.
Make sure not to miss Dubai's white sandy beaches as they are some of the best of their kind in the world.
If you like water sports then these beaches are perfect for you with many different activities being offered such as the banana boat ride and parasailing, with water temperatures ranging between 22°C in winter up to 35°C in summer, you certainly shouldn't be afraid to give these a go.
Dubai is famous for shopping, with the Dubai shopping festival almost every shop has a sale starting in January and ending in February.
One shop that must be visited is The Dubai Mall, which is the biggest mall in the world and in true Dubai nature is located right next to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifah and should also definitely be on every visitor's list.
While one might think of Dubai's natural outdoors as being mostly desert this could not be further from the truth.
Dubai contains awe inspiring waterfalls, cliffs and freshwater lakes.
Although some of these might take a bit of searching to find they are definitely worth the effort to any traveller.
Despite the year round sunny weather Dubai has its own ski centre located in the Mall of the Emirates which maintains -4°C year round and caters to all levels of skier.
If you're into sports you will want to check out one of Dubai's more culturally unique pastimes, camel racing.
Races take place on Thursdays and Fridays during the winter on the Al Wathba Camel Race Track and the Al Maqam Track near Al Ain.
The climate in Dubai is sub tropical with very hot summers averaging 42°C during the day and 28°C at night.
If this sounds too hot for you then Winters in Dubai are a pleasant and mild affair with an average daytime high of 25°C and night-time low of 10°C.
Although Dubai is one of the Emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates only 17% of its population are Emirati with the majority (53%) being of Indian descent.
This means that Indian food and culture is very prominent in Dubai society with vegetarian Indian food being available for as little as 10Dhs (€2) per course.
Other foods commonly available in Dubai are Shawarma, which is a type of kebab, and falafel which is a vegetarian option. Although these are the most common options Dubai has a range of restaurants to suit all tastes, from fast food chains such as
KFC and McDonalds to high end hotels, offering the best in Indian, Emirati and other regional cuisine.
So come to Dubai and experience the best the Middle-East has to offer.
