<p style="LINE-HEIGHT:normal;MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Times New Roman','serif';FONT-SIZE:12pt">From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. The emirate embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day, you can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra-modern shopping malls. </span></p>
