Al Futtaim Carillion has been announced as the main contractor for the key development of three themed districts at Expo 2020 Dubai.

Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing has revealed that the emirate attracted 14.9 million overnight visitors in 2016, a five percent yearon- year rise and a four-year compound annual growth rate of eight percent.

As a direct impact of the advances in the culinary industry, hotels have to not only keep up, but stay ahead of the game in order to satisfy each and every diner.

In a city with an abundance of accommodation options, location is vital.

FROM THE OLD SOUKS STEEPED IN TRADITION TO THE MODERN DAZZLING MALLS OF THE FUTURE, DUBAI IS A SHOPPING LOVER'S PARADISE COMPLEMENTED BY AN ABUNDANCE OF CULINARY OPTIONS TO SATISFY THE DESIRES OF ALL.

“In the many years that I have lived [in Dubai], I have seen many additional tourist attractions open which in fairness and in keeping with the tradition of Dubai have always been of the highest level.

“I do believe that providing unique experiences to the guests coming to Dubai is the priority.

“Wellness is a very important aspect of our offerings at our hotel,” said Hamdy, noting how an extensive and well-rounded wellness offering can influence holiday-makers when looking for their ideal accommodation.

Dubai is in a race to keep up with its fast-escalating visitor volumes.

Underneath the ambitious goal to become a leading destination are indeed intricate nuances and well-thought-out actions that are being meticulously planned to create a bucket-list destination which fulfills the wishes of diverse demographics.
