Dubai specialize in luxury. It sets out to make a top tourist destination despite the fact that its origins are little more than desert. It has succeeded and even though the worldwide recession was a temporary setback Dubai within the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can offer some of the most luxurious accommodation found anywhere in the world. One such place is the Atlantis Palm Hotel that was the first to be built on the island that is land reclaimed from the sea.
The theme is based on a myth; the lost city of Atlantis supposedly under the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantis Dubai underwater rooms capture that myth very well indeed. It opened during the recession, but things have moved on although Dubai needed a helping hand from its oil rich neighbor, Abu Dhabi, to solve some of its financial problems. With those now behind them, the Hotel with over 1,500 rooms, each with a nautical theme are proving extremely popular.
The Atlantis Dubai water park adds to the many things guests can enjoy while you can take a helicopter tour over the City, sail on the Arabian Sea, go shopping or simply relax. The staff will arrange any tours incidentally.
