WHY DUBAI ?
Where else? It’s the ultimate place to be.
The words ‘first, tallest, deepest, most
expensive, lavish, outlandish’ could have
been created for this city. Where else
would you find a 7* 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?
To top this the outstanding Dubai Mall is
not only the largest mall in the world with
over 1200 shops housed under one roof
yet has also been confirmed as the most
visited place on Earth with a whopping
80 million visitors per year.
Amidst all this modernity, as you head
from a swim in the sea, take that ultimate
ride on the world’s fastest roller coaster,
indulge in a spree at top designer
boutiques, the age-old souks still attract
those who like to haggle….and yet only
a few kilometres into the magnificent
desert there are still camels roaming free.
There is a vibrant and cosmopolitan air
about Dubai, yet 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.
