Dubai

Dubai is one of the seven cities that make up the United Arab Emirates. The city has quickly become a booming market for business in the Middle East. However, Dubai has not always been a dream city to the world. The first settlers were members of the Baniyas Tribe and settled in 1822. Multiple conflicts arose over the land through the next 80 years. The last settlers claimed the land and started their nation in 1894. The founders were followers of Islam; praising Allah and pursuing the Islamic Sharia laws. With the help of the “Oil Era” the Asian settlers created a wealthy city with plenty of tourist attractions.

One of the most famous places in Dubai today is the Burj Khalifa, the tallest man made skyscraper in the world. Construction was completed in 2010 and was finished with 163 floors! The fascinating city is also home of the world’s largest fountain system. It is located on the Burj Khalifa lake and shoots water 500 ft into the air. One of the coolest attractions in the large city are the Palm Islands. They are man made residential islands in the shape of palm trees.You can find many hotels, shops, boutiques, stores, condos, and houses on the islands.

Today Dubai is one of the busiest cities in the world. Known for countless tourism sites and fantastic business, the area is a big hit.
