Reasons to Visit Dubai

The growth of Dubai has been astronomical as it has risen from a small town on the Persian Gulf to one of the most vibrant and exclusive areas in the world. Thriving with business, tourism and luxury, there is a reason why Dubai is twinned with some of the world’s great cities like Barcelona, Milan, Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro. The amount of wealth in the United Arab Emirates province has seen Dubai boast some of the most famous attractions in the world, but as a tourist, it doesn’t have to cost the Earth to visit the city. Here are few unique reasons why Dubai appeals to all.

Historic Construction

Paid

Given the speed of Dubai’s rise, much wealth has been put into ensuring that demand has been met and that the buzz is maintained. This has seen some of the world’s most famous pieces of construction being undertaken. The first of which to open its doors was the Palm Jumeirah, a man-made chain of islands that first opened to residents in 2006. But by the end of 2007 it had become the world’s largest artificial island housing luxury hotels and around five hundred families as residents. But more famously, Dubai is now home to the tallest building in the world – the Burj Khalifa. The building holds many other construction records and has become a symbol of Dubai’s meteoric rise.
