Dubai

City in the United Arab Emirates

Dubai is the home of sand, sun and shopping. A century ago, it was a quiet town whose coral-and gypsum huts housed Bedouin traders. Today the merchants have gone international and skyscrapers stand alongside the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai. Glitzy, glam, over-the-top and a little overexposed Dubai lives for attention. With shopping malls, flamboyant hotels, a dizzying array of dining options and hip clubs and bars, it’s all just too easy. Whatever you end up preferring, Dubai is a fascinating experiment and a city-state like no other.
