Jumana
This is one of the first Dubailand attractions to fully open and if this onslaught on the senses is anything to go by Dubailand will be stunning. (The massive development is expected to be completed in 2010, with the world's largest mall, a Tiger Woods-designed golf course and Dubai Sports City among the myriad attractions.) Jumana is well worth the hike out into the dark deserts. The set-up is dinner buffet or à la carte before moving on into the massive 1,500-seat outdoor auditorium. Here an audiovisual extravaganza awaits with a collage of spouting waterworks, bursting fireworks, first-rate dancers, wandering camels, galloping steeds and piercing lasers telling the Arabian tale of love and family lost and found. Omar Sharif is on hand with a typically smooth voiceover to complete an impressive picture.
