There is a Dubai beach resort that will suit your every need, and cater to your tastes with elegance and grace. The resorts here specialize in a long, local tradition of hospitality, coupled with the conveniences of modern technology. Guests are well-connected to the outside world, to make international business pursuits here a premium, and there is enough beach to make a getaway from the every day concerns possible. Whatever the reason for travel here, business, pleasure, or cultural tourism, guests are treated to a beautiful time in a beautiful place.
Dubai is a fascinating city with a fascinating multicultural flavor. There are locals and tourists and international expats here who make this their home for at least part of the year. There are also gorgeous shopping malls, old world markets, and an increasingly vibrant local art scene that is making international news. The traditional cultures are very interesting, and for the respectful traveler, there is much to see. In some of the local markets, there are varieties of herbs for sale, which reflects some of the practices of traditional Bedouin culture in the region. This is part of a long continuum of herbal healing traditions, that stems from the time when people were traveling across the deserts and only had access to local medicines. Combining the herbal wisdom from India, Africa, Iran, and locally, there were hundreds of cures, and possibly thousands of herbal remedies. One of the most popular remedies was, and still is, camel’s milk. Camel’s milk is noted for its usefulness in helping to heal stomach ailments, and problems with circulation and bone ailments.
Herbal medicine is still very popular, and there are many traditional healers who practice. It is not uncommon to find women practicing healing techniques, as the tradition of Emirati medicine women has a long and fascinating history. One of the main roles, outside of healing, for women who work in this capacity is to bring rural communities together. Her role as a consultant could range from anything like curing common ailments, treating wounds, and serving in a sort of diplomatic function to help in more social affairs. But the bulk of the work is in healing and plants. The unique mix of cultures and herbs available here means an extensive knowledge of plants and healing techniques. Here, the desert also serves as a pharmacy.
