Visitors to Dubai will find a wide choice of venues to stay at, ranging from furnished hotel apartments, youth hostels, and even an eco tourist hotel (the Al Maha resort located amongst the dunes on the road to Al Ain).
The number of hotels and hotel apartments over the last few years has been rising significantly. In the past nine years, the number of hotels and hotel apartments has risen from 70 to around 400, with many others planned. With so many rooms that need to be occupied(approximately 25,000), it's only natural that visitors can expect excellent services and facilities – at the least in the higher end of the market.
One of the many services that larger hotels and hotel apartments offer is to act as sponsors to help obtain visit visas for all these diverse nationalities. This service should cost about Dhs.280 per visa. The visa is deposited at the airport for collection on arrival; however, the visitor is expected to stay at the accommodating venue for a few nights in the least. |
