    They are a set of reconstructions that show the past of Dubai. We can see the recreation of a traditional settlement, allowing us know the charm of the old world "emirati" Junto el is the Diving Village who shows us the last maritime. Tip: If you don't have much time can pass up. If you want to go more the evening thus is open until 10 pm. Also as is beside the sea can see the sunset.

Where to stay in Dubai

©
Dubai is a city of hotels, with most of the world's leading chains represented. Rooms remain expensive and luxurious, as most establishments cater to visitors with deeper pockets. You can still save money on accommodations if you look hard enough. Move away from the coast for more affordable backpacker hostels and self-service apartments, as well as less expensive hotel rooms where a lack of luxurious amenities and less appealing views keep rates suited to budget travelers.
