Did you know that the Titanic II, a replica of the
celebrated namesake, will set sale on its maiden voyage from China to Dubai in
2018? Dubai Tourism tweeted this announcement on October 6, 2015. The original
plan was to retrace the course of the RMS Titanic from Southampton to New York.
This was reportedly changed because the owner company, Blue Star Line wishes to
honor the business partnerships that it has forged in Dubai, says an article in Khaleej Times. This may be symptomatic
of the economic scene of the world. While London and New York squabble for the
position of 'financial capital of the world', Dubai is all
set to take its rightful place in the financial world – at its very center.

Dubai – the Perfect Long Weekend Destination
Dubai is ideal for a leisurely long weekend, where you do
nothing but pamper yourself with luxury. You could go on a desert safari,
followed by a dhow cruise, take pictures at the Burj Khalifa and gorge on authentic
middle eastern cuisine. It takes barely four hours to reach Dubai and a four
nights five days trip could be ideal for optimum relaxation. If you are
traveling with family, or if you yourself are so inclined, you must make a trip
to the Lost Chambers of Atlantis, at the Palm in Dubai.
The Myth tours could be as enchanting for adults as they are for children, not
to mention the unexplainable thrill of snorkeling with sting rays in the
aquariums! Another must visit if you are traveling with children is the Aquaventure Waterpark, also at the Atlantis on Palm
Island. The rides there are one of the best than any water park and if you
happen to be there on your birthday week, you can even enjoy a free of charge
pass! Musafir.com offers Dubai packages that combine these attractions into a
hassle free itinerary to make the best for your time.
Diwali in Dubai
Dubai packages will surely include a trip to the Grand
Mosque and the Dubai creek. However, if you ask around in that area, you can be
directed to a narrow lane between the two, which locally known as the Hindi
lane. This is where you will find the only Hindu temples in the city. In the
adjoining streets, you will also come across a Meena Bazaar, recreated by the
nostalgic Indian expatriates. Unlike back home, you will find these streets aglow
during the time of Diwali and the temples resounding with prayers of
prosperity, as is customary during the festival. If you are worried about
missing out on all the delicacies that are synonymous with the festival, be
assured that worries are unfounded. You will find all that and more in Dubai's
Meena Bazaar, reported the Vision Magazine in October, 2014.
While festivals are a time for family and friends alike, it
might be a rewarding experience to travel to a new place and celebrate in a
different way, for a change. Moreover, if you look early, you may find special Diwali offers on Dubai packages that will make it
well worth your while to spend Diali in the 'City of Gold'.
