Tourism and Hospitality in Dubai

 

Dubai has 734 kilometers of coastline, divided into two parts by a 14-kilometer-long bay, the southeastern part called Deira and the northwestern part called Bur Dubai. The Deira section of the bay is the most prosperous. Half sea water and half desert have created a peculiar and beautiful scenery along the coast of Dubai. Tourism and hospitality industries are flourishing in Dubai.

 

At the beginning of the 21st century, Dubai had a serious problem of seaside environmental pollution. The tides often carried garbage, untreated sewage and chemical waste, which made the beautiful and clear Dubai waterfront less touristy. The waterfront, which attracts large numbers of tourists, was once deserted. Until in recent years, Dubai's emphasis on the protection of the marine environment has improved the situation.
