Dubai has risen from the vast stretches of barren Arabian sands to the bustling metropolis it is today. From gypsum and lime houses with their distinctive wind towers to high-rise, high-powered buildings, Dubai has come a long way. Dubai, the commercial capital of the UAE, now enjoys the distinction of being a city where people of all nationalities co-exist in peace and harmony. A city which has many ‘firsts’ in its serpentine list of achievements – the world’s tallest building, the world’s biggest mall-the Dubai Mall, the world’s largest cluster of man-made islands, the world’s largest metro-Dubai’s grandeur has helped make it one of the most visited cities in the world.
With its amazing natural background against the dazzling skyline of its skyscrapers, Dubai is a tourist’s delight. While sun, surf, sand and shopping are the main attractions of the thousands of tourists who pour into Dubai each year, the city’s economic advances have also attracted businesses from around the world. Banking and finance, tourism and construction industries are experiencing ongoing growth and offer a balanced and varied economy to this truly modern metropolis.
