The city of Dubai itself is situated on the banks of a creek, a natural inlet from the Persian Gulf that divides the city neatly into two. With enormous construction and development in various industries, Dubai attracts world attention through innovative real estate projects, sporting events and conferences.

Singapore is a city of contrasts, modern and anonymous with its concrete and glass towers, yet Asian with Chinese, Malay and Indian traditions from feng shui to ancestor worship. And if you want to recapture Singapore’s colonial era, a Singapore Sling under the lazy ceiling fans at Raffles Hotel is a must. Orchard Road is the hub of shopping in Singapore, with its extravagant shopping malls filled with Western clothing stores and other imported finds. For unusual handicrafts and local flavour, Little India, Arab Street and Chinatown is the place to go and are as much a main attraction as the sights. A shopping adventure awaits!

Shopping is a favourite pastime in Singapore and is up there with eating, and it is easy to see why. There is always a big sale to be found somewhere, and seeing people with loads of shopping bags, it is simply infectious! Shopping in Singapore can tire you and your purse, retreat to the tropical resort island of Sentosa to revitalize body and spirit. Relax and soak up the sun on Sentosa’s sun-kissed beaches, explore the wonders of nature, or enjoy a modern or traditional treatment in a state-of-the art spa. Sentosa has something for everything, let the island captivate and enchant you.
