This populous city basks in the glory of the gold and the vast oil fields have transformed this traditional town to a dynamic and fast developing city like any other top notch tourist centre across the world. The bank on both the sides of the creek extends and divides Dubai into two landmarks and they are the northern Diera and Bur Dubai in the south. Dubai Creek is a safe and serene harbor making it an ideal place to visit by the evenings. The Dubai city has a many of options for the tourists to revel including silvery beach, basking sunshine, towering hotels, magnificent shopping malls, top class golf club and fashionable gold showrooms. Dubai Shopping Festival is a real crowd puller and tourists across the globe visit during this period and it offers a impressive treat to all the senses. Spice Souk, Gold Souk, Hatta mountains, Grand Mosque, Dubai Trade Centre and Dubai Museum are some other attractions. One thing to try for sure is the Dubai cuisine. Auspiciously and regrettably, there is not anything like "customary" Dubai food. Mezze consists of plenty of nibbles dished up on the table all at the same time, escorted with olives and flatbreads and not like a well structured three course meal. The traditional “shawarma”, something like minced meat served in rolled bread oozes with authentic local Dubai cuisine flavor and this is one item that everyone would like to try. Apart from these local cuisines, many of the well-known American fast food joints such as KFC, McDonald's and Starbucks have their openings in Dubai.
