Why Dubai?!

Dubai, the "Pearl of the Persian Gulf", is the most popular destination in the United Arab Emirates and is the second largest Emirate after Abu Dhabi.
A modern city thriving on commercial investments; it boasts of an array of shopping centers, exclusive restaurants and awe-inspiring attractions. Where else can you see the tallest skyscraper - the "Burj Dubai", enjoy the Wild Wadi Park, or play golf in a desert oasis? Add to this the first indoor ski slope in the Middle East "Ski Dubai" and one can easily understand why Dubai has become a favourite with jet-setters.
Even though Dubai has been transformed into a man-made hi-tech city, it maintains a strong Bedouin flavour with historic sites surrounding the Creek. Travelers to this fascinating city leave with memories of an ever-changing metropolis with something for everyone.
