THE COUNTRY
The capital of the emirate of Dubai is one of the world's centres of luxury tourism and a great playground for architects. Be amazed by the sheer scale of its architectural achievements: the sumptuous Burj Al Arab hotel overlooking the sea; the gigantic Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper; the impressive Dubai Marina; the astonishing man-made island of Palm Jumeirah...
History and tradition also have their place in the United Arab Emirates, with the Dubai Museum, the typical souks, camel racing and the traditional art of falconry. Dubai is the perfect blend of past, present and future!
