Practical 8&9  "MY DREAM HOLIDAY"

My dream holiday is Dubai. It is the place that I want to go so badly. I will explain why I love and it is my "Dream Holiday" in the later part of the post.

Below are unique famous places in Dubai:

Subsequently, the unique structure of the Palm Jebel Ali (Palm Jebel Island)which consist of a trunk, a crown with 17 fronds, and a surrounding crescent island that will form a water-breaker. It feature themed hotels, three types of villas (Signature Villas, Garden Homes and Canal Cove Town Homes), apartment buildings, beaches, marinas, restaurants, and a variety of retail outlets and many more entertainment place.

From Secondlife I manage to get to the Burj Al Arab Dubai Tower  :

Subsequently, the experience of being in Dubai in secondlife is not really interesting for me. Basically the reason for that is because I am not used to the place and I get lost quite often. In addtition , i kept going to the same place over and over again. However it is nice to know that I can explore Dubai virtually.

 In order to find out more about Dubai, I started my search by entering Google, to search for the Official Dubai travelling sites, which showcase the places of my Dream Holiday.

1.   b)  Subsequently in order to get the best right facts about my Dubai from the site, I evaluate the site using Authority Accuracy as the most important criteria. Personally, it is crucially important to get a reliable and trusted site for any kind of information that I aims to get. Moreover, I want to get information about my dream holiday, I must get the right and accurate information about the country. Subsequently the website that I had come across is the official Dubai Tourism site. The website is from by the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), the DTCM’s Chairman is UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Its Director-General is Khalid A. bin Sulayem. This information is from the “About Us” section in the site.

Subsequently, I can get a lot of interesting and great facts about Dubai from this site. The reason is because the DTCM is responsible for the licensing of hotels, hotel apartments, tour operators, travel trade companies and travel agents. Its supervisory role also covers all touristic, archaeological and heritage sites, tourism conferences and exhibitions, the operation of tourist information services and the organisation and licensing of tour guides. Thus with this, it shows that all the information that I need to know is stated in this site.

(C) Basically, my dream Holiday is Dubai. Since young, I wished I could live in an Arab country. I do not really have a specific reason for it but the interests just develop naturally in me as I grow up. Probably the reason for this is because of influence from my family, my parents like to expose to me about the beauty of Arab countries and the people. To me Arab country is an interesting and unique. The culture, tradition and the people are very unique in their own way.

However the age I decided that Dubai out of all the Arab places, is the place that I need to visit at least once in my entire life is when I was 13 years old. I started to know about the beauty and interesting parts/ places of Dubai then. My cousin, who had migrated there with her husband, often talks about her wonderful experiences and the beautiful places that she visited whenever she gave us a visit here. Since then, Dubai had captured my heart even more. Furthermore, interestingly Dubai has four seasons too. Dubai is also known as one of the most successful and luxurious living country in the world. It’s very nice to know how they had developed so fast and manage to capture theworld’s attention towards its country.
