Dubai
suddenly became one of the most sought after destination for all those who
wanted to have a complete vacation. Gone are the days when they were just
considered a vast dessert and one of the oil mining leaders in the world. Their economy no longer depends on their
natural resource but on their people and the improvements made. If you compare
how Dubai looked like a decade ago to how they are now, you will really be
amazed at how talented and innovative these people are. It is a huge factor
that they had enough funds to finance the improvements of their city. It didn’t
take long before everyone in the world was astounded with every single
improvement Dubai had. If you are planning to tour Dubai, you should keep in
mind that a day is not enough to travel all its beautiful parts. If your stay
is just limited here are top five things you should know and discover in Dubai.
Shopping Malls
Dubai is
considered to be the shopping capital of the Middle East and this is what lures
most of the tourist to the country. With 70 shopping centers and the world
famous Dubai Mall, there is no stopping anyone who wants to “shop till they
drop.” Dubai is hailed as the 7th Most Visited Country in the world
having over 7 million foreign people visiting each year however this record was
way back 2010, by now the count would have reached almost 15 million which is the expectation of their
government by 2015. It is impressive how fast they made it, becoming this
progressive and world renowned. Tourism not only depend on their shopping malls
as other may think. There are other things you should know about Dubai other
than their shopping areas.
Burj Al Arab
and Burj
Khalifa
After the
shopping areas the next thing you should know about Dubai is their tall
structures. They have the tallest hotel in the world, Burj Khalifa. Burj Khalifa was developed to be the focal
point of a large-scale, multipurpose area that would consist of 30,000 houses,
nine resorts , 3 hectares of parkland,
at least 19 personal systems, the Dubai Shopping center, and the 12-hectare
man-made Burj Khalifa Pond. Another world renowned structure is the Burj Al Arab which is the 4th
tallest hotel but the only one that holds the “7 star” title in the whole
world. Although the title is still in dispute, this establishment is situated
in the middle of an artificial island which is connected to the mainland by a
bridge. The design is similar to a sail which is very symbolic for the people
in Dubai since it represents an Arabian vessel called “Dhow”. Both structures
were created for the same reason and that is to uplift the economic standard of
the country and to have international recognition which the government though
is absolutely necessary for the country. Obviously, they thought correctly
because it placed Dubai clearly on the world map. The country that was only
recognized previously because of its bounty has now merged into something else
that has impressed the entire nation.
Traditional Dubai
Another must to learn about Dubai is its rich culture and art. Despite its drive to be progressively modern, there is still a part of the place that represents the old Dubai and its love for the art. The Traditional Dubai was then the old fishing village of Bastakia Quarter. This is a mini labyrinth of wind-towered structures which have been modified into art exhibits and bars.Man Made Islands
Another
proof of Dubai’s artistic side is there “Man Made Islands. It all started with
the Palm Jumeirah which is in a form of a palm tree. Next came Jebel Ali and
Deira and lastly “The World” which are a group of miniature islands which forms
a world map. These islands are actually for sale so if you can afford to buy
these little islands then you can have your own archipelago of your own.
Beaches in
Dubai
Since we are
already talking about the islands in Dubai, it goes in saying that there are
beaches in the country and not just sand and desserts. You can choose to laze
in the shoreline of Al Mamzar or at Jumeirah Beach Park. There is also a place
there called Kite Beach which became famous of the kite surfers in the area.
With all these places mentioned, even a week’s visit is not enough for someone
to tour the entire city of Dubai. The Middle East is a very rich country and
not just because of their oil and gold. They became a lot more progressive
because their government saw that their best asset is with their people and its
dedication to improve for the world to see. For more information and guidance about

Conclusion
Just like any other place in the
world, Dubai holds beauty and wonders that should be experienced by people who
love impressive places. The growth of Dubai’s economy has been the envy of
other countries and they became the basis of “great economic planning”. Other
country’s government is trying to follow how they did it in order to reach even
just the baseline of success.
