Dubai: is land of sun and sand,
situated on the southern shore of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian
Peninsula. Dubai is the second largest Emirate after Abu Dhabi and is
usually recognised as the ‘Pearl of the Persian Gulf’. Dubai is one
of the most multicultural cities in the world. The city boasts
remarkable skyscrapers, including the world’s tallest tower, the Burj
Dubai. Sheikh Mohammed is the ruler of Dubai. It is said that he is
primarily responsible for making Dubai what it is today; a modern high
flying city. Although Dubai has been transformed into a man-made hi-tech
city, it still has a strong Islamic culture with a stretch of historical
buildings by the Creek. Having expanded along both banks of the Creek,
Dubai is divided into two parts - Deira on the northern side and Bur
Dubai to the south, as well as the top tourist destination of Jumeirah.
Abras, the traditional water taxis, are regularly used each day to cross
people over to either side of the Creek. Each side has its share of fine
mosques and busy souqs, public buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office
towers, banks, hospitals, schools, apartments and villas.
