Dubai

Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates. It is world famous for its political stability, wealth, cosmopolitan lifestyle, ideal policies for corporate businesses, beaches, and skyscrapers. It started as a small fishing and pearl diving village back in the late 18th century. Then oil was struck in the 1960's and since then, due to the fantastic, innovative, and aggressive development projects championed by the ruling sheiks, the city has become one of the world's most famous.
