Welcome to Cruise Lines Dubai

Dubai is synonymous with plush shopping centres, costly residential areas and desert safaris. It is located on the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, in the south west corner of the Arabian Gulf. It is the most populous emirate in the UAE. It has over 1.5 million people. Dubai covers 3,885sq.km and is the second largest emirate in the UAE, just behind Abu Dhabi. The local time is fours ahead of GMT.

Dubai’s growth as a tourism and business hub could only be described as phenomenal. Dubai differs from the other six emirates for the fact that it draws most of its income from tourism. The discovery of oil in 1966, too, led to a sea change in its economy.

Shopping can be said to be the national and international pastime of locals as well as tourists in Dubai. It is famous for its gold souks, shopping malls and electronic goods markets. Dubai is one of the top 10 most visited cities of the world.

Dubai has two international airports and is connected to every other part of the world either by air or sea. You can also enter the emirate through the airports at Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.
