So you want to go to Dubai? Well, you’re not alone, because the rest of the world is right there with you. Dubai is like Las Vegas meets New York in the Middle East — not only is it a full-time party, but it’s also sort of the saving grace for the Middle East with how fast-forward, modern, tolerant, and accepting it is, setting a benchmark for other cities and countries in the region (though, its progress definitely comes with some harsh realities).
Most travelers pass through Dubai on a layover, some come for a few days. If you’re looking to spend a weekend there, then be sure to arrive on Thursday, which is the official start of the weekend, as Friday and Saturday are the same as our Saturday and Sunday.
