Dubai – the blend of tradition and modernity
What are some of Dubai’s most famous landmarks and traditional sites
Dubai: A Super Metropolis with Oriental Charm
In few cities do tradition and modernity intertwine as closely as they do in Dubai. Skyscrapers form a breathtaking skyline that seems to rise directly from the desert. The crystal-blue waters of the Persian Gulf offer refreshing dips and relaxing beach days, while the city’s traditional markets invite you to immerse yourself in oriental scents and authentic ways of life. The “TH8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort” provides a perfect base for your Dubai adventure, located directly on Palm Jumeirah beach with stunning skyline views.
Between Tradition and Future
Dubai, this oasis on the Persian Gulf, captivates visitors with its superlatives and a captivating blend of luxury, tradition, and modernity. Among its many sights, the Burj Khalifa stands out in every sense. At 828 meters, it is the world’s tallest building. For an unparalleled panoramic view of the glittering metropolis, you can choose between two observation decks: a two-story platform on the 124th/125th floors, and another on the 148th floor.
Yet, Dubai has also carefully preserved its traditional side. A visit to the Jumeirah Mosque and the historic Al-Bastakiya quarter, founded in the 19th century by Persian merchants, is highly recommended. Today, Al-Bastakiya still exudes its original charm and is a beloved artists’ district. As you wander through the vibrant Souks, the traditional oriental markets, you’ll be overwhelmed by an explosion of scents and colors. The Gold Souk and the Spice Souk in the Deira district, located along Dubai Creek, are particularly famous.
The weather in Dubai is usually sunny and warm, making it ideal for beach visits and desert safaris. The best time to travel is from November to March, when temperatures are more moderate.
Surrounded by Art
The “TH8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort” is as exclusive as the city itself. Part of the Vignette Collection, it blends modern Miami design with the elegance of the Middle East – a stylish sanctuary that, through its “Encounter with Art” program in partnership with local artists, promotes emerging talents. Paintings, art exhibitions, and sculpture installations adorn the rooms, underscoring the hotel’s commitment to culture.
The resort is also located directly on the coast, with its white sandy beaches and azure blue sea, on the western crescent of Palm Jumeirah, offering unobstructed views of the Dubai skyline. Private beach access, impressive infinity pools, and innovative culinary experiences are just a few of the luxurious extras.
