Dubai is another of the UAE's popular tourist destinations. The city is divided by a water inlet which is called the 'Creek'. The Creek is a great for water sport activities and allows for leisurely walks along the banks. Creekside park is a good picnic spot and allows for barbecues and bicycling. Near the park is the Al Boom Tourist Village. This village allows visitors to see their traditional architecture, before the large skyscrapers and modern architecture took over!! The Dubai Museum is situated in Al Fahidi Fort in an old part of town. You can learn about the history of the land and the pearl industry, 'life before the oil'. Enjoy a day at the races - the camel races!! or take a hot air balloon flight, play golf or visit the zoo. If that isn't enough to keep you occupied there are a number of entertainment parks, such as the Wadi Water Park or Al Nasr Leisurepark. Shop 'til you drop in this part of the world. There are malls and markets... all that glitters is not gold.. or perhaps it is at the Gold Souk - the world's largest gold retailer. Dubai is the perfect spot for an excursion into the desert to visit a Bedouin Village or enjoy 4x4 sand dune drives and you can learn to ride a camel!!! Relax around the boma and suck on a shisha pipe filled with delightful fruity tobacco. Al Ain is the University City and is known as the 'garden city'. A fertile oasis with a mountainous backdrop. Here you can visit the zoo, aquarium, fun city with ice rink and the Archaeological Museum. This area of the UAE is well known for its archaeological sites, particularly Fossil Valley. Ancient history and civilisations are brought to life.
