As the cost of travel and vacation slowly increases, tourists are considering other countries outside Europe as their preferred tourist destinations. As a result, tourists going to Middle East and other Asian countries have increased. In these places, Euro will go a long way and even with the increased airfare, the savings will still be significant with almost the same accommodation and even better service.

However, this has posed a problem for other tourists as they venture to other places that are a little bit stricter in their moral codes. Most Middle East countries are very strict in their moral codes that transgressing them will mean stiff monetary penalties and even jail time.

The UK government reminded its tourists to observe these rules. Specifically, sex outside marriage and even holding hands on public for unmarried couple is not allowed. Although these practices are ok in European countries, they are never allowed in other countries and these acts can easily get you in trouble with the law.

The reminder came out after a British couple were caught having sex in a beach in Dubai. Even though Dubai is seen as a very tourist friendly destination, they still follow strict penalties in terms of intercourse outside marriage.

More than 70,000 British tourists find themselves in trouble every year because they were unable to follow the code of this conservative country. Although the government will be more than willing to assist them, these inconveniences could be averted if the rules and customs of the country they visit will be strictly observed.

Dubai is one of the upcoming areas to travel. With its booming economy and the fact that real estate ventures are happening all over the place in this growing metropolis, there are many great seaside adventures that await you in this Emirate. One in particular that is worth mentioning is a resort known as Amwaj Rotana.

It is a beach resort built around the main activity of hanging out on the beach and engaging in aquatic activities.

Perhaps the single most attractive feature about Amwaj Rotana is the fact that it is located in one of the most perfect places possible. The views are gorgeous and the water on the beach it inhabits looks absolutely fantastic. More so than that however, it is within walking distance of both Internet City and Media City in Dubai while at the same time being just 15 minutes away from the city center just in case you want to pop into town and take a look around. In addition to that, it is just 20 minutes away from the airport. This is simply one of the best locations you will find for a resort in Dubai.

Location can only take you so far however and the Amwaj Rotana management understands this. This is why the amenities at this seaside resort include two swimming pools, rentals for almost anything you could imagine, valet parking, free transportation into the city center, fitness apparatuses, spas, saunas and many other excellent amenities that pretty much serve to ensure you do not have to leave the Amwaj Rotana during the entirety of your vacation if you don’t want to.
