| DUBAI |
|
It’s simply astonishing what a judicious blend of vision, passion and science can achieve. Who would have imagined that a place in the desert blessed only with a surfeit of sand and sun would grow to become one of the foremost cities of the modern world, attracting statesmen, artists, thinkers and pleasure seekers from across the world.
For such is the story of Dubai. From a barren place, known only for its pearling and fishing, to a world class city which hosts the world’s richest horse races, is home to the most spectacular malls, boasts a state-of-the-art water theme park, golf courses and ski slopes, and also the world’s most extravagant hotels. The world’s most extravagant shopping festival, Dubai Shopping Festival attracts millions of happy shoppers each year. And despite the cultural regulations that are only to be expected in an Islamic country, there is still plenty of room for some first-rate entertainment. The City of Gold is the dream playground for those whose wallets are full, and hearts light.
