Overview
A dazzling paradox where Bedouin heritage meets hyper-modern ambition, Dubai thrills with indoor ski slopes carved from desert heat and gold souks where merchants weigh dreams in carats. By dawn, hot air balloons drift over rust-red dunes; by dusk, cocktail-sippers marvel at the Dubai Fountain’s choreographed water ballet beneath the Burj Khalifa’s LED-clad spire. This is where luxury yachts dock beside abra boats ferrying laborers across the Creek’s timeworn currents.
