Get Your Skates on in Dubai

As one of the world's major emerging holiday destinations, Dubai is best known for offering leisurely and picturesque experiences, but many of the visitors to this stunning city will be thinking about speed and urgency as its hosts its annual marathon on January 18th.

This race begins and ends at Za'abeel Park, adjacent to the Dubai World Trade Centre, one of the city's major landmarks.

During the course of the challenge participants will be taken past some of Dubai's major sights and run along the new Jumeirah Beach Road.

The Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon is held at a time of the year to offer more comfortable running temperatures and is also mapped out to avoid any major steep inclines.

Taking part in a 26-mile race around one of the world's most visually exciting cities is not everyone's idea of fun, of course, and people staying in hotels in Dubai in January can content themselves with watching the runners set off before exploring their environment at a slower pace.

Dubai is home to some of the world's most famous modern landmarks, including the Burj Al Arab hotel, the Jumeirah Mosque and the Dubai Marina.
