What can you do in your vacation in a fairytale paradise like Dubai? Thanks to the good road network, you can go safely on your own in the desert and explore the area. Without guidance, you should not leave the streets, however. Who wants deeper into the desert, should join an organized group for a desert safari. The area around Dubai are also very beautiful in the mild weather cycling possible. Get a map and there you go! In the dream-like temperatures in the Emirates doing activities around the water of course are especially fun. You have never dived? Then Dubai is the perfect opportunity for you to do it first time! Dive down into another close yet mysterious world, so you can get closer to the marvelous sea creatures. Or just enjoy the summer sun, sea and beach and relax completely in the sense of a seaside holiday. This naturally includes a boat, water ski or jet ski trip or a sailing trip. There is also the Wild Wadi water attractions where you can spend an unforgettable time.

If you are tired of beaches and deserts then it is time for shopping. Dubai will offer one of the best shopping experiences in the world. It is famous with its gigantic malls and customer friendly malls.

The Emirate of Dubai and the eponymous city are worth seeing. The official language in Dubai is Arabic, although the majority will also speak English, especially the younger residents. Some older locals may have difficulties with english though. And it is very funny when they work in such organisations as police.  :) Anyway there are more expatriates in Dubai than locals and all the supermarkets and services are full of Indians and Philipinos that can speak english well enough.

Dubai is a religious state where the main religion is the Muslim faith - Islam. There are also Hindus, Sikhs and Christians in Dubai. Even a Catholic church can be found here and it has almost a hundred thousand members. The special thing about Dubai is that there is only one Hindu temple here and also a Sikgurudwara. It can be found in any other emirate of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). But open preaching of other religions but Islam is prohibited in Dubai. They are tolerating other religions only because it is a cosmopolitan city with a lot of expats and tourists.

It is wide thought that Dubai lives primarily on petroleum production. And it is true in some sence. They started to flourish when oil was found. But the leaders of the country have realized that petrolium is not forever it will look very bad when it is over. So they have invested a lot and expanded the tourism industry in Dubai. The sheikhs are always keen for visitors to Dubai's most expensive, nicest and greatest hotels. Due to the impressive and huge construction projects in Dubai, Dubai is now on everyone's lips, around the world. In the last 10 years, but before the global depresion, the Dubai property rental prices have risen considerably. This influence the overall prices in Dubai, so it became a really expensive place to live.

The global economic downturn has affected negatively a lot of small and medium sized as well as some large companies even forcing them out of business. However, you should not miss out on the great opportunities you are presented with at the moment especially in the modern financial and business centers such as Dubai. Moreover, the whole world is on the road to recovery from the recession, which is further beneficial for the ones who can manage to take advantage of the situation. As a first step towards your success, you have to rent a commercial Dubai property. Here are some essential aspects you need to consider before making a choice and concluding a deal.

The really great news for potential tenants is that the prices of commercial properties in the emirate are now lower than ever before. The rate of decline is substantial with an average fall of 45% in the first quarter of 2009 and further 25% in the second one. Furthermore, the relatively low commercial Dubai property prices are expected to remain with the trend continuing at least in the near future due to the large inventory that is to be introduced to the market in 2010 and 2011. The demand is also lower with many companies experiencing financial difficulties and constricting their operations. Thus, the time to act and make a real bargain is now considering the slow, but steady recovery of the real estate market.

The careful planning and the preliminary analysis of your business activity are essential in finding the most appropriate Dubai property relatively quickly. With the less dynamic summer season being over and the improvement of the world financial markets becoming more substantial, the demand for office, storage and shop space in the emirate is growing. The prices might not be affected considerably by the higher activity, but you would still like to make the most of your rental commercial Dubai property in terms of location and construction quality. Make sure you visit the space you have picked to get a better idea of what you are offered. Also, acquire enough information about the dependability and reputation of the developer. The marketer also has to be respectable as long as you want to get the best and most diverse offers in terms of pricing and quality.

The careful planning is further necessary due to the fact that the rental contracts in Dubai cannot be terminated without having a serious valid reason. Besides, you will not be able to sublease the whole or part of the Dubai property you have rented for commercial purposes without the specific permission of the landlord. All this means that once you have signed and sealed the contract, you cannot be very flexible and cannot go out of it without bearing serious consequences. That is why it is best to make all the necessary financial calculations and budgeting well in advance. A thorough research of the local industry and market your business is in will also be highly beneficial.
