WHY DUBAI ? Where else? It’s the ultimate place to be. The words ‘first, tallest, deepest, most expensive, lavish, outlandish’ could have been created for this city. Where else would you find a 7* 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? To top this the outstanding Dubai Mall is not only the largest mall in the world with over 1200 shops housed under one roof yet has also been confirmed as the most visited place on Earth with a whopping 80 million visitors per year. Amidst all this modernity, as you head from a swim in the sea, take that ultimate ride on the world’s fastest roller coaster, indulge in a spree at top designer boutiques, the age-old souks still attract those who like to haggle….and yet only a few kilometres into the magnificent desert there are still camels roaming free. There is a vibrant and cosmopolitan air about Dubai, yet outside of Dubai life is more traditional and moves at a slightly slower pace. As you explore the barren beauty of 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.
