The DTCM reports that there were 2.38 million visitors (up 13.6 percent) and guest nights rose by a staggering 35.4 percent. Hotel rooms rose from 64,143 in the first quarter of 2010 to an amazing 72,419 in 2011 which made a great difference to the number of people visiting Dubai.
With many new hotels opening in the near future this trend is expected to continue throughout 2011.

Dubai Creek is a natural seawater inlet that divides the city of Dubai into two parts - Deira Dubai and Bur Dubai. Visitors to the city can take an abra (water taxi) along the creek to see the old trading port and the dhows (traditional arab sailing boat) from the water. The abra's criss-cross the Creek from the souks of Deira to those on the Bur Dubai side. Located at the inland end of the Creek is a large, shallow lagoon which is now a wildlife sanctuary and a haven for migrating shore birds and the Greater Flamingo who have made the Creek their permanent home. A leisurely walk along the wharf will give you an insight into Dubai's trading heritage and traditions, it is here that the dhows dock to unload their goods. These Dhows still operate along the ancient trade routes to places such as India and East Africa.
