The glittering city of Dubai is one of the most cosmopolitan destinations in the world and serves as the main commercial center for the United Arab Emirates. Once a sleepy fishing village in the Arabian Gulf, the city now boasts an iconic skyline, elaborate shopping centers, vibrant neighborhoods, sunny beaches and awe-inspiring hotels. Head to the desert for a camel ride or four-wheel-drive adventure, enjoy watersports or relax on the beach, visit Burj Khalifa (the world’s tallest building), wander the stalls of traditional bazaars and markets or head to theme parks like Legoland and Motiongate.
