Recently, the United Arab Emirates has become one of the most popular tourist destinations for the Russian traveler. The country has a unique potential, offering guests not only hotels for every taste and year-round beach holidays, but also profitable shopping, interesting excursions and entertainment.
It is always interesting to be on a holiday in Dubai, but it should be remembered that some of them are declared holidays and the level of tourist service can suffer quite a lot as a result. Such periods include the holy month of Ramadan, during which restaurants and entertainment venues may be closed during the day, and most of the country's inhabitants are converted to prayer and observe strict fasting. The beginning of Ramadan is not tied to a specific date, and in 2016, for example, it will come on June 6th.
Let's look at the calendar
Among the secular holidays in Dubai in recent years, it is customary to celebrate the New Year. It comes on January 1st and there are many sales in stores and shopping centers and entertainment events in hotels and restaurants. The city is becoming a single fireworks display - colorful and grandiose, and the festive New Year's fireworks have long overshadowed all others in the world.
