It is an ancient city with a desert climate, splendid views and ambitious urban architecture. Dubai - the exotics that captivates - one of the most visited tourist destinations.
The artificial islands have been built near the city - Jumeira, Djebel Ali and Deira. If you are traveling to Dubai do not miss the traditional markets (suks), as well as the Sheikh Palace, the Dubai Museum and Jumeirah.
What else do you know about him?
Dubai is located on the southeastern coast of the Persian Gulf with a population of over 2 million and 700,000 people, making it the most densely populated city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Besides being the world's leading city, Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the country known as the United Arab Emirates.
Although English is widely used, Arabic is the official language.
This exotic paradise is in the Arabian desert.
The city is in a stable area with minimal risk of earthquakes or tsunamis. The waters of the Gulf are not deep enough to trigger a tsunami.
Dubai has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Real estate and construction, trade and financial services are the essential part of the economy. Oil and natural gas make up less than five percent of the Emirates' revenue.
Tourism is an important part of the Dubai government's strategy.
Dubai kissing is strictly forbidden in public places, and for tourists it is forbidden to wear obscene clothing that reveals too much skin.
Only non-Muslims have the right to consume alcohol and only within licensed places such as hotels or at home with a license for alcohol.
Did you know that in Dubai more than 3000 cabs work, making an average daily 192,000 trips?
Seven of the top ten hotels in the world are in Dubai. The third but most emblematic is the Burj al Arab, a luxury hotel designed to resemble a canvas on a ship. It is located on an artificial island 280 meters from the shore.
With more than 70 shopping centers, Dubai is called the "Capital of Shopping in the Middle East". The home of 1,200 stores - Dubai Mall, is the largest shopping center in the world, based on a total area.
Did you know that Dubai is also called "the city of gold"? There you can shop in more than 300 gold jewelry stores.
The world's largest flower garden is opened in Dubai on Valentine's Day in 2013. Dubai's miraculous garden has 45 million flowers grown by drip irrigation.
American football and cricket are the most popular sports in town.
The level of crime in Dubai is extremely low. It is practically zero. This is why this city is considered to be one of the safest cities on earth. The laws are very strict.
I love that city... ! Visited Dubai last year and stayed at my friend's home with he and family (expats). I was blessed to see the city from a different perspective -- home living, kids rugby practice, parent soccer/football match and local guided tours. I too concur that Dubai is a very safe and hospitable city. Can't wait to visit again!
