The worlds ‘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.

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.
