Dubai, situated on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf, is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It has rapidly transformed from a small fishing village into a dazzling metropolis known for its futuristic architecture, luxury shopping, and vibrant lifestyle.

One of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks is the Burj Khalifa, standing at a staggering height of 828 meters. It dominates the skyline and offers panoramic views of the city and the Arabian Gulf from its observation decks. Nearby, The Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the world, attracts millions of visitors annually with its extensive range of shops, entertainment options, and attractions such as the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.

Dubai’s cultural heritage can be explored in the bustling souks (markets) of Deira and Bur Dubai. The Gold Souk is famous for its dazzling array of gold jewelry, while the Spice Souk offers aromatic spices, herbs, and traditional textiles. Visitors can experience a glimpse of old Dubai with a ride across the Dubai Creek on an abra (traditional wooden boat).
