CRUISE NEWSCruise News

This year the cruise market to Dubai is set to seriously make waves. A new cruise terminal, located in the Port Rashid complex, is due to open this month – and what a spectacular structure it will be! The façade reflects Dubai’s contemporary Arabian design, with traditional domes, arches and carvings. The terminal has been designed to handle four ships simultaneously and will include facilities like a money exchange, post office, shops and a business centre. And there’s no doubt the fantastic new terminal will be put to good use in the coming years, as in 2010 Dubai is expected to host 120 ship calls with over 325,000 passengers.

The Kids are Alright!

Playing ‘house’ has taken on a whole new dimension for children visiting Dubai, as ‘KidZania’, the entertainment concept that allows youngsters to play at being grown-ups in a miniature world, is now open. The mini metropolis is traversed by kid-friendly vehicles and has a functioning economy. Children perform ‘jobs’ and are paid for their work in KidZos, the official currency of KidZania. Over 70 different roles including surgeons, firefighters, chefs, engineers, models, actors, artists, radio hosts, photographers, jewellery designers and police detectives are on offer. The 80,000 sq. ft venue is spread over two levels and is ideal for kids aged between four and 14, this unique experience is sure to give young visitors to Dubai a day to remember.
