Dubai has become a very popular tourist destination. So when the opportunity arose, I was excited to eventually go and see for myself what makes Dubai such an interesting destination. For 4 days, I had the privilege to experience the Emirate of Dubai.

Dubai constantly dwells in a suppressive competition with itself trying to magnetise tourists to a dreamy world of attractions and unheard of luxuries. I experienced this first hand. The idea that I got is that where ever we went, there was a constant urge to construct something bigger and better than the previous. From the Palm and World Islands, the Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall and the amazing fun parks, it is indeed a city of superlatives: biggest, fastest, tallest and highest.

Dubai still has some areas, where you can feel the Arab mystic, of decades gone by. Dubai creek, where you can get in an Abra (watertaxi) to cross the creek and get glimpses of beautiful views of the city, Bastakiya District, some of the Souks, Jumeirah Mosque and having dinner on an original dhow.

For me it was a little artificial, but still I could not help liking it. If you want a cosmopolitan atmosphere, wonderful shopping, fascinating buildings, opulent hotels, mind boggling malls and some of the best restaurants in the world, you will just have to see Dubai.

You will be amazed by all that Dubai has to offer!
