Yes, the restaurants, hotels and shopping are great but please note - Dubai isn't a country, the UAE is.
The Dirty Duck restaurant is as much a feast for the eyes as for the stomach. Stunningly beautiful open-air restaurant overlooking rice fields.
The duck is done to perfection and the
pumpkin soup is heavenly!
Apart from visiting the Angkor Wat temple complex, a boat trip on lake Tonle Sap is a pleasant and worthwhile experience: seeing how the Vietnamese boat refugees have adapted to life on the lake, admiring local children paddling in canoes with awesome speed to and from school, watching swarms of caged baby sharks caught by local fishermen and, in general, gaining insights into how the local community depends on the lake for its livelihood.
