But there\u2019s more to Dubai than diamond-encrusted opulence. Its ancient beating heart is a historic old town with cobbled streets and independent art galleries, ancient Arabic wind towers built to channel cooling breezes into buildings and souks that tempt with colourful mountains of fragrant spices. Side by side with the older, more cultured aspect of Dubai sit the most modern and luxurious hotels and resorts, with expansive pools and forests of palm trees. There\u2019s no shortage of soft, sandy beaches either. If you need help deciding where to stay in Dubai, you\u2019re in the right place.
