Dubai is a thriving metropolis, a point where east meets
west, tradition meets modern living. It really is a unique place and feels like
the centre of the world.
There is so much going on in Dubai, it is hard to
comprehend. Construction is underway all over the show, and the results are
quite spectacular. There are also many unique wonders in Dubai, the tallest
building in the world, manmade islands in the ocean, 6 star hotels and ski
slopes in the desert to name but a few.
The weather in Dubai is also somewhat uncharacteristic for
most tourists, it is really hot and really humid, unbearably so in and around
the summer months. A lot of time is spent indoors and air conditioning is a
must.
Visiting Dubai is like a glimpse into the future, a
testament of the ability man has to create and shape the world we live in.
Previous impossibilities are realities here. Be prepared to be amazed.
