Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai United Arab Emirates

Dubai is the most populated city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates. It's a bustling, cosmopolitan, and modern city. Dubai is divided by a creek, with Deira on one side and Bur Dubai, the historical district, on the other. The luxury beach hotels are located on the outskirts of the busy city center, in the Jumeirah area. Dubai already boasts some impressive architecture and it is home to the only 7-star hotel in the world, the tallest building in the world, stunning beaches, and high-end shopping centers. The Bastakiya Quarter, located in the heart of Dubai’s Old Town, still maintains its traditional charm and is a reminder of Dubai’s past. Here you can find traditional Emirati houses, lively souks, museums, galleries, and the only remaining part of the old Dubai city wall. Another major attraction in Dubai is the Jumeirah Mosque, which, although it is outside the Old Town, is a beautiful example of traditional Islamic architecture. Dubai is a progressive city that is always evolving, but it has managed to preserve its traditions and culture. Therefore, it's safe to say that Dubai is one of the most thrilling places in the world.
