Are you planning on going to the Middle East any time soon on a vacation or on business? Be informed that Eye of Dubai, a website promoting tourism in the Middle East has been awarded the golden award for the Best Website in Tourism and Travel. Along with it, Eye of Dubai has also bagged Best Strategic Travel and Tourism Website and International Standards Website awards.

CEO Abdullah Al Harbi who accepted the awards for Eye of Dubai said “Eye of Dubai has worked hard to be a leader in providing innovative and valuable content through our extensive website. Our site is accessed by thousands of residents and tourists every month seeking up-to-date and comprehensive information about Dubai. It is a great honor to be recognized with this award.”

It is certainly heartening to see an awards ceremony held to recognize the top travel website in a place which many wouldn’t associate with tourism. This is a step in the right direction and I hope to see many other closed countries promote tourism on a larger scale. Maybe be I should find out more about Sharjah or Lahore instead of Zurich or Singapore.
