Dubai, a new destination
Lucy o intervieveazæ pe experta în cælætorii Christine Oteng
în programul ei „The Travel Programme”. Vorbesc împreunæ
despre Dubai, faimoasæ flintæ turisticæ.

Lucy: Hello, hello to everyone! Welcome to „The Travel

Programme”, the TV Show for all travellers. We talk about
foreign countries, holiday destinations and tourist attractions
with Christine Oteng, our travel expert. Hi Christine.
Christine: Hi, Lucy, and good morning to all travellers.

Lucy: You know, Christine, is a real globetrotter. She visits

14–15 countries a year. Is that right Christine?
Christine: That’s right, Lucy! I travel a lot!

Lucy: So, what are you talking about today?

Christine: Well, I want to talk about a new tourist destination:
Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.

Lucy: Mmm... interesting. Dubai’s a fascinating city. Modern

and traditional at the same time.
Christine: That’s true! In Dubai there are new skyscrapers
next to traditional Arab „souks”. But there’s something else!
Do you know why Dubai is famous throughout the world?

Lucy: No, I don’t! Please, tell us... we’re curious.

Christine: Because of the shopping. Dubai has duty free
shopping. You can find everything there... designer clothes,
cameras, high tech goods... all at very low prices!

 ENGLISH TODAY TV PROGRAMMES: TRAVEL

Lucy: So, it’s a real shopping paradise!

Christine: Yes Lucy, it is! But Dubai is also famous for its
beaches, blue sea and white sand.

Lucy: It sounds wonderful. When’s the best time to visit

Dubai?
Christine: The best time to visit is from October to April.
During this period the weather‘s good and there’s almost
no rain.

Lucy: So, it’s a winter destination!

Christine: Exactly! In summer it’s very, very hot there. It’s
about 40°C!

Lucy: Oh wow! Really hot! And what is there to do in Dubai?

I mean, besides shopping, of course!
Christine: Well, there are many things to do there! You
can go on desert safaris, camel rides, you can swim and if
you like sports there are many centres for snorkelling and
diving.

Lucy (râzând): Ok... So, you need a lot of time to do all

these things!
Christine: Well, if you prefer to relax you can just sunbathe!

Lucy: That’s true! What about hotels? Is it easy to find

accommodation in Dubai?
Christine: Of course! There are many hotels at all prices!
Most of them are new, with large rooms and good service.

Lucy: And food? What about the food?

Christine: You can find all kinds of food in Dubai. Middle
eastern and international food: Lebanese, French, Italian,
Indian and so on.
