Book description
Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates is an extraordinary
mixture of ancient Arabic culture and modern Western capitalism. The
most opulent hotels in the world fight for attention with open tracts
of desert that stretch, uninhabited, to the horizon. Hundreds of
kilometres of sandy beaches, which run into the warm and clear waters
of the Arabian Gulf, are only interrupted by desalination plants that
create enough fresh water to keep acres of Dubai public gardens in
luscious bloom. No expense has been spared to make Dubai a five-star
paradise for up-market tourists looking for great food and drink,
extraordinary duty free shopping, and all-year round sunshine.
Discover sunken wrecks that attract divers from around the world;
nightclubs hosting Europe and Asia's hottest DJs; desert driving in
death defying conditions; restaurants run by globally renowned chefs;
and shopping trips that mix bazaars full of ancient Iranian spices
with tax free-priced suits from Armani and Versace.
