In just a few years a new airport will be built in Jebel Ali. The airport will be called the Dubai World Central International Airport.
They say that this airport will be the fourth biggest one in the world. They construction team expects to finish it in 2017. This amazing airport will be able to receive almost 70 million people!
You can say that the flights that come now from North America are a bit limited at the moment. Still, the Emirates and some other airlines have developed new flight options. Many tourists say that flying to Dubai costs a lot but you can find good deals everywhere. It all depends if you are flying business or just for pleasure.
Your best choice is the Emirates Airlines. They give very good prices for the last minute flights to Dubai. Most of the year, the other offers are few.
The rapidly developing state of Dubai has made the cost of the seat to climb, in the last couple of years.
The second best choice would be an online travel vendor like Expedia. You can find many cheap deals there. Sometimes, you can even book some cheaper flights, cheaper than the Emirates. The best solution to do that is to watch everyday for offers and once you see it, reserve immediately or somebody else will.
But if you are sent by your company in a business trip, you could book a private jet. There are good prices there too and they are eco friendly. The most important thing is that a jet helps you save money because the cost with the fuel is not that high, like on a big airplane. Plus, it is much more comfortable and you can have your own timetable.
In just a few years Dubai will be the next Vegas and all the eyes will be set on them.

Dubai has an active nightlife with so many things to do and live. So, if you are there, you may want to get up late so that you may stay up all night and enjoy everything. The weather is very hot and you may like to dress accordingly. The bars don’t offer flip flops or some baseball caps. You have to come prepared. On some beach bars the flip flops are allowed.
One of these bars is Barasti. Just like in the clubs in the major cities, the bouncer is the person who decides who gets in or who doesn’t. If he thinks you dressed up “inappropriate” he will not let you in. But if you get in, you will have a wonderful night. The clubs offer a lot of entertainment.
On Mondays the clubs are not available. Most of them are closed. You should go to club on Thursdays and on Fridays. Usually, the clubs in Dubai close around 3 a.m. and they only receive people that are over 21. You need to be 21 years old if you want to drink alcohol also.
All the clubs serve alcohol drinks but in Ramadan they don’t. Everything in Dubai has a fee of 10% which is delivered to the Dubai Government.
