Many of the walk friendly streets, beach and parks become alive again during the all day in Dubai. Not like in Summer were streets cafe shops and parks are empty as blazing hot warm sunny days and dusty winds covered the city. One of the outdoor activities took my attention is Covent Garden Market which is held at the beachside location of The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai Marina. This street market is open to the public from October to end of May.

The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence, known as New Dubai, is a place where one can enjoy walking and enjoy fresh breeze of Arabian sea. With the street market in winter months, it add more fun at The Walk such as shopping outdoors or just enjoy the view of the market and other activities around.

Dubai is one of the city in the world which is still young and keep growing with new attractions every few months. Dubai managed to bring something new, and as a human nature once in a while needs to experience, hear or see something new in life. This is including even change of leaders in any country.

Movies industries directors and now even artists all target Dubai for their next block buster movies / arts. Star wars the most famous and long time series also already depicted with Dubai city backgrounds by the French Artist Mr. Cedric Delsaux. His photos are so amazing that I wish one of the series in the future will be based in Dubai like "Mission Impossible 4". I hope these photos of Star wars in Dubai city background will encourage major block busters movies directors including such as next part of "Transformers" to be directed in Dubai.

Take a look at these Star Wars photos in Dubai:

Visas in the UAE

Many confused about UAE visa and particularly those who seek to visit Dubai. But for those nationalities who can apply directly with Emirates Airlines no need to worry much.

I find out some of the visitors are using hotels from Dubai to book Dubai visit visa for them , and charges can be high too, if you are not aware of this. From below article from Gulf News, you can get details of types of visa and charges. But mind you that visa rules and procedures are updated time to time.

Dubai Summer Surprises

Dubai Summer Surprises is one of the strategy to keep Dubai as the most prefer city to visit event during the warm hot season.

As there many promotions and children activities this event proof to be successful over the years. Instead number of visitors decreased during the summer, it increases and hotels are once more booked again though still you can get for a cheaper summer room rate. All major malls are participating in this event for promotions and activities in the mall. Rarely there is any outdoors activities during the
Dubai Summer Surprises, as the weather not permit. But still you will find the city decorated with lights and Summer Surprises Mascot - Modhesh all over the city.

Kids are the main focus of the event, each shopping mall conduct different activities for children, shows, competitions, quizes and lots of gifts to be won. At the same time almost all shops offering huge discounts in some of the items.
