iTUG 2010 Venue

Dubai is located on the Eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, in the South West corner of the Arabian Gulf. It is extremely well known for its warm hospitality and rich cultural heritage, and the Emirati people are welcoming and generous in their approach to visitors.

Having expanded along both banks of the Creek, Dubai’s central business district is divided into two parts — Deira on the Northern side and Bur Dubai to the South — connected by a tunnel and two bridges. Each has its share of fine mosques and busy souks, public buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks, hospitals, schools, apartments and villas. Outside the centre, the city extends to the neighbouring Emirate of Sharjah to the North, while extending South and West in a long ribbon of development alongside the Gulf, through the districts of Satwa, Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim.

The Creek, a natural sea-water inlet which cuts through the centre of the city, is the historic focal point of life in Dubai. A stroll along its banks evokes the city’s centuries-old trading traditions. Visitors will be captivated by the colour and bustle of the loading and unloading of dhows which still ply ancient trade routes to places as distant as India and East Africa

Set in the vibrant business district just 10 minutes from Dubai International Airport, this 5-star luxury hotel offers spacious accommodation furnished to meet the highest standards, whilst the 52 elegantly designed suites provide luxury and exclusive services.
