Dubai woos tourists

THE global recession hit Dubai as hard, if not harder, as most popular holiday destinations, so there has rarely been a better time to venture into the midst of the Arabian Desert and discover the attractions on offer in the destination.

Irish travellers have already shown a huge interest in making the most of cut price hotel rooms in Dubai, according to new figures from Hotels.com which reveal that searches for hotels there have risen by 148% since Dubai World’s announcement sparked a financial crisis.

Whether you want to bathe in the waters at Jumeirah Beach, dare the rapids at Wild Wadi Waterpark, or shop all day or night in the massive Dubai Mall, it might be worth checking out the offers available on Hotels.com.
