Dubai metropolis of business and tourism in the Middle East, full of contrasts. Second largest city in the United Arab Emirates with a population of 900,000 inhabitants has a modern character and old simultaneously. It is an exotic destination with a cosmopolitan lifestyle that combines a perfect balance, the comforts of the western world with its unique charm and hospitality of Arabia. Starting your walk in Dubai before and lost in the high street and indulge in endless shopping, watch the Jumeirah Mosque which is the most photographed building in the city and an impressive example of modern Islamic architecture. Built along medieval Fatimid lines, entirely of stone, the mosque and its two minarets are identifiable.
For lovers of the distinct flavors Dubai provides a great local cuisine based on fish, camel meat, rice, camel milk, dates and spices like cloves, saffron, and cardamom. The «Shawarma» offer roasted, chopped lamb or chicken salad wrapped in Arabic bread. Climate and Clothing: From May to September the temperature during the day is around 40 degrees Celsius, while in July it can "climb" to 46-48 degrees Celsius. During the winter months the average temperature is around 22 degrees Celsius and strong winds are common.

One of the jewels in Abu Dhabi's crown is the 5.55-kilometre Yas Marina Circuit, which on November 1, 2009, hosted the country's inaugural Grand Prix. It was also the first F1 twighlight race, with powerful lighting ensuring a seamless transition from day to night. Located on the spectacular Yas Island, the track is set to revolutionise the design of future Formula One circuits. Boasting top speeds of 320 km/h and average speeds of 195 km/h, it features nine right turns and 11 left turns and is one of the few venues on the calendar to run in an anti-clockwise direction.
Designed by renowned circuit architect Hermann Tilke, Yas Marina has a waterfront setting scenic enough to rival the likes of Monaco and Valencia.
Another world first is that all of the grandstands, including the massive hairpin seating area, are covered to protect spectators from the desert sun, whilst the state-of-the-art pit building boasts 40 air-conditioned garages. Luxuriant comforts and first-rate views are clearly the watchwords for Abu Dhabi race goers.
