Dubai normally gets clubbed with one of the most expensive places on earth. The magnitude of its wealth can easily be gauged from the way the city has been making growth during the last two and half decades. The world renowned Dubai free trade zone, the upcoming seashore marvel of Dubai Marina and the continuous development of some amazing buildings across its horizon are enough indicators of what lies in Dubai's coffers. But what makes this city more special is the manner in which fusion of Islam has taken place with modernity. There is a distinct flavor of ethnicity present on one hand, and on the other an amazing advancement taking place on all fronts. If you traveled across the globe in today's times, hardly could you think of capturing such a fine blend of modern and ancient ethos at any other single place.
The world has been converging at the doors of Dubai as a result, to take part in the dream run it has been witnessing for some time now. Along with the mass of entrepreneurs and the skilled workforce, there are a growing number of tourists flying across each year into this princely territory. This has made the quality accommodation and its round-the-clock availability a must have facility for the Dubai planners. Hoteliers gain tremendous significance in this scenario, something we are going to have a word spread out about through these paragraphs. Any debate on hotels of Dubai is bound to cause an equally gripping response as the rest of Dubai would normally do so on any other occasion. The fusion of ethnicity and the modernization can as strongly be seen in the hotel industry as well as the rest of Dubai speaks about for it as a whole.
Starting with the best in the league, one has to make a mention of Burj Al Arab, without fail. Built 288 meters off the seashore inside waters, the sail-like concrete marvel soars 321 meters above the famous Jumeirah Beach Resort. Aptly called the best hotel of the contemporary times, Burj Al Arab is the only existing seven-star facility on earth right now. It provides a highly personalized service to its clientele throughout their stay. This includes having access to the services of well-trained butlers and privately manned reception points on all floors. Just imagine how even the smallest of the suits at Burj Al Arab could be found to be measuring 170sqm in area, to understand what grandeur we are speaking about.
However, it's the range of two, three, four and five star hotels in Dubai that occupy bulk of catering business like they will do anywhere else in the world. Almost two dozen five-star hotels are running on their shops right now and shaping out Dubai's breathtaking skyline at the same time. A number of two and three-star hotels are also known to be providing equally competitive services, thus reaching out to all the travelers in this part of the world. For example a three star facility like hotel Karama has been gaining popularity among the business travelers and tourists alike, due to its proximity to the commercial hubs and the Dubai International Airport, both. In any case, services on offer at these lowly-ranked hotels can still be expected to be of very high standards.
Interestingly, also available are privately owned apartments these days that will cost almost the same amounts as the low-end segment of hotel industry generally bills you for. But, these apartments are better suited for the long term stays, and can never be described as a complete alternative of staying at hotels. Put in the right perspective, Dubai hotels are nicely placed to serve the influx of tourists on its territory. They are institutionally well organized bodies that will keep charging ahead on the path of glory and success, year after another. The unfolding saga of Dubai hotels is no doubt, a highly gripping and exciting one in kind!

Celebrating the Islamic New Year in Kuala Lumpur
Maal Hijrah is an important Islamic festival that is celebrated with great gusto by the Muslim population in Malaysia. Usually this festival falls on the 10th of January in the Georgian calendar and marks the beginning of the Islamic month of Muharram. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar which is based on the lunar cycle.
Awal Muharram which can be loosely translated into meaning the start of the year is based on the Hijra or migration of Prophet Mohammed from Makkah to Medina as per God’s request accompanied by the Angel Gabriel.
According to Muslim tradition a new day begins after and not after midnight, therefore Muslims recite prayers and chant asking for god’s forgiveness for sins committed during the old year just before sunset. A number of religious rites are also performed such as Asar rites.After sunset, the New Year begins and devotees say another prayer asking for God’s guidance and help during the New Year so that they might live a healthy spiritual and physical life. Muslims also use this period for self examination and to monitor progress during the past year. New resoloutions are made and old resoloutions are re-examined. Since the festival marks not only the physical migration of Prophet Mohammed but also the spiritual migration of the soul from pagan worship to the simple faith of Islam makes this an extremely important religious event.
In Kuala Lumpur Maal Hijrah is celebrated with a series of events, these are aimed at promoting commitment to Islamic pursuit of knowledge and also tolerance and understanding for the betterment of human kind in general. Amongst the regular programs are religious lectures, choir performances and community oriented work. A discount hotel in Kuala Lumpur that is located close to the Maal Hijrah celebrations is the Citrus Hotel Kuala Lumpur.Author: Naveen Marasinghe
