![DUBAI Tourism is firmly focused on the rapidly growing cruise sector, with its already huge terminal facilities undergoing significant expansion. Currently Dubai is able to handle five large ships and more than 9000 passengers a day, but has two more terminals underdevelopment. “We want to become the Miami of the Middle East,” according to Hamad Bin Mejren from theDubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, who spoke to CW in Dubai yesterday at Arabian Travel Market. The vision is that Dubai will be the cruise hubof the region, aiming to attract more homeported vessels to allow visitors to experience various Middle Eastern ports. And the figures speak for themselves, with cruise ship calls growing from just five in 2003to 115 this year - and projections this will climb to 145 in 2015, with a total of 500,000 cruise passengers.The turning point, according to Bin Mejren, was in 2006 when Costa Cruises and German operator AIDA decided to homeport ships in Dubai during the northern winter.Royal Caribbean soon followed and TUI Cruises will also join the Dubai trend this year, with DTCM saying “we are doing all we can to make our region attractive for cruising”. The Dubai cruise terminal facilities offer agreat experience, with shops, VIP lounges, money exchanges, conference rooms and even free wi-fi internet access. Mejren said that negotiation with othercruise companies about Dubai homeporting are also underway - and the emirate is also a popular port of call for round-world cruises. The amazing hotel infrastructure in Dubai provides for easy pre and post accommodation and the city’s aviation connectivity also makes fly-cruises very simple to package. Cruise visitors are also able to experience a range of unique ground activities such as desert safaris, spa treatments and even skiing.

DUBAI Tourism is firmly focused on the rapidly growing cruise sector, with its already huge terminal facilities undergoing significant expansion. Currently Dubai is able to handle five large ships and more than 9000 passengers a day, but has two more terminals under
development. “We want to become the Miami of the Middle East,” according to Hamad Bin Mejren from the
Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, who spoke to CW in Dubai yesterday at Arabian Travel Market. The vision is that Dubai will be the cruise hub
of the region, aiming to attract more homeported vessels to allow visitors to experience various Middle Eastern ports. And the figures speak for themselves, with cruise ship calls growing from just five in 2003
to 115 this year – and projections this will climb to 145 in 2015, with a total of 500,000 cruise passengers.
The turning point, according to Bin Mejren, was in 2006 when Costa Cruises and German operator AIDA decided to homeport ships in Dubai during the northern winter.
Royal Caribbean soon followed and TUI Cruises will also join the Dubai trend this year, with DTCM saying “we are doing all we can to make our region attractive for cruising”. The Dubai cruise terminal facilities offer a
great experience, with shops, VIP lounges, money exchanges, conference rooms and even free wi-fi internet access. Mejren said that negotiation with other
cruise companies about Dubai homeporting are also underway – and the emirate is also a popular port of call for round-world cruises.
