Welcome to Dubai: The United Arab Emirates’ Mecca of Modern Luxury.
Knicknamed the “City of Gold” and “The Pearl of the Persian Gulf”, Dubai is the United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s city of shimmering skyscrapers, sandswept beaches, and opulent lifestyle. An oasis of boundless cultural opportunities, luxurious experiences, and historic traces of Arab and Bedouin civilizations, it’s no wonder that Dubai has become a favorite destination amongst the world’s elite.
Located in the southeast corner of the Arabian Peninsula, Dubai is a cosmopolitan metropolis with a population of 2.7 million. It’s a multicultural city that mixes 12th-century Arabian elegance with the vibrancy of modernity, while hosting a wealth of attractions and tourist destinations.
The city is perhaps most famous for its two-kilometer-long Golden Mile. This area is home to some of the city’s most luxurious and sought-after hotels, including Atlantis, The Palm, as well as The Address, Dubai Marina and Madinat Jumeirah. Tourists can also take part in iconic cultural activities – from shopping, feasting on international cuisine, drinking in stylish bars and clubs, sinking their toes into the sand at the most luxurious beach clubs, and exploring the Arabian desert.
Dubai is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and is an ideal ground to experience a variety of cultures, lifestyles and paradigms. Home to both wealthy ex-pats and native Bedouin, Dubai offers a unique fusion of East and West, regularly displaying highlights of both in its architecture, design and festivals. The city is also home to an array of sightseeing opportunities, including the world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa; the world’s first indoor ski resort at the Mall of the Emirates; and the world’s tallest hotel – the JW Marriott Marquis.
Dubai also offers its visitors a never-ending supply of nightlife, culture, fine dining and shopping experiences. From the world-famous Dubai Mall to the homegrown boutiques of Emirati designers, Dubai is an unmissable shopping destination. The city’s nightlife scene is equally vibrant, with trendy beach clubs and nightclubs, as well as more relaxed bars and lounges. The ongoing arts and culture scene offers festivals, plays and theatricals, club nights and more, pushing the boundaries of Dubai’s entertainment possibilities.
As a GCC city and economic powerhouse, Dubai has become a favorite of the world’s elite. From its Arabian Nights roots to its contemporary European and American luxury experiences, Dubai offers something for everyone. From world-class shopping, entertainment, and dining, to its unique culture and heritage, the city of Dubai is unlike any other in the world.
