Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. The main city of the emirate is Dubai. Dubai is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf. Dubai is roughly at sea level. The emirate of Dubai shares borders with Abu Dhabi in the south, Sharjah in the northeast, and the Sultanate of Oman in the southeast. The city has become symbolic for its skyscrapers and high buildings, in particular, the world´s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.

Dubai is one of the seven emirates and also one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. It is the combination of ancient and modern attractions. Dubai has its own beauty like Dubai Mall, Gold Souk, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dubai Creek, and Dhows. It is the best city to explore.

The words ‘first, tallest, deepest, most expensive, lavish, outlandish’ could have been created for this city. Where else would you find a seven-star hotel, visit a series of 200 man-made islands in the shape of the countries of the world, or climb the world’s tallest building.

Amidst all this modernity, as you head from a swim in the sea or a business meeting to designer boutiques, a round of golf or a top teppanyaki restaurant, the age-old souks still attract those who like to haggle. And yet only a few kilometers into the magnificent desert, there are still camels roaming free.

There is a vibrant and cosmopolitan air about Dubai, for instance, the way the traditional abra boats carry a kaleidoscope of tourists side by side with sari-wrapped Indians and locals sporting spotless dishdashas.

Outside of Dubai life is more traditional and moves at a slightly slower pace.  As you explore the barren beauty of the mountains or go about the UAE’s East coast beaches you will find people friendly and willing to chat, even when lacking a common language.
