Dubai is the second largest emirate in the UAE and is often referred to as the Pearl of the Gulf. Dubai was originally divided into two parts and separated by Khor Dubai, a natural seawater inlet: Bur Dubai and Deira. Bur Dubai, along with Deira and Al Shingada, form part of Old Dubai. Of these, Al Shingada is the oldest neighbourhood where the rulers of Dubai once lived. The different places in Dubai get their name from their natural features. For instance, Al Muteena receives its name from the clayey soil in the area. Similarly, Al Hamriyah is called so because it is a coastal settlement for people from Sharjah. Old Dubai has several souks or traditional markets selling spices, gold, garments, and other items.
New Dubai is in complete contrast to old parts of the city. It is modern well structured, and it abounds with luxury. Some of the world’s largest, longest, and most famous buildings are located in New Dubai. For instance, the Ibn Battuta Mall, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, etc., are in New Dubai. Some places here include Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Dubai Hills Estate, etc.
With an arid desert climate, Dubai has winter and summer seasons. Naturally, the best time to visit the city is from November to March, when the temperatures average 25 °C and nighttime temperatures can be as low as 5°C.
