Taking in the Persian Gulf at Sunset in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Jumeirah Beach Hotel is Dubai at its best—the luxury of the ultramodern with a decidedly ancient, Middle Eastern feel. Sitting on the balcony, you can soak up the essence of the growing metropolis, the towering Burj al Arab to your right, with its majestic sail-like curves, and the ancient Arab dhows reconstructed by the hotel lazily floating by. The sunset is in technicolor, reminding guests that in spite of the luxury, you sit in the midst of a vast desert. Drop by the maze-like downstairs with a date for some dinner after your cocktail. The hotel's rebuilt Arab market conjures up a bygone desert souk, where gold, fabrics, and other trinkets can be purchased before dining with a luxurious view overlooking the sea. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience
