Dubai is one of the destinations I am most often asked about for spring travel. Great for a beach vacation, too. Coming out of the confines of the emirate of the same name, however, I am starting to suggest a quiet luxury resort as the ideal antidote to hectic Dubai vacations: The Oberoi Beach Resort, Al Zorah, one of the UAE's best-kept secrets. Just think, here you can take a swim in the country's largest swimming pool!
