Do you ever wish that you could travel to an exotic land? I do, and after reading about Dubai I can’t think of a more interesting or exotic place to travel to. You might know that Dubai is the second largest emirate of the united Arab Emirates after Abu Dhabi, but you might not know that it’s the most populous area as well.
Oddly enough, when many of us think of the middle East and the United Emirates we probably think of oil as one of their main sources of revenue- and what a source that is. However Dubai only receives 6% of it’s gross domestic product through sales of oil. Increasingly a major source of it’s revenue comes from tourism.
Would you have ever believed that Dubai would have a fantastic sports stadium such as the Dubai Sports City property. Just look at that. It’s a first class sports arena.
So yes, I’m thinking that perhaps someday Chris and I might visit Dubai, after all it’s hot all year round so we could go at any time of year and there are so many interesting places to visit. Just the sheer history of the land. Hey, perhaps we’ll visit the artificial Islands such as Dubai Marina or The Palm – a completely man made island in the shape of a palm. What a creative idea.
Have any of my readers ever considered visiting a place such as Dubai?
It’s amazing that a lot of people think of the entire middle east as a desert with huts … I would love to go to Dubai at some point. Truthfully, I’d be happy to go anywhere not North America 🙂
I weas born there. Its a nice place but I don’t like the local people.
Then the local people are glad you left, and hope you stay out.
Dubai is a great city. We were set on moving there before we ended up moving to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia instead. Lots to do, great restaurants, great shopping, beautiful beaches. Lots of people compare it to LA, so that might help give you a picture of the city culture (and the massive highways that run through every part of the city). You should definitely check it out! And while you’re at it, give KL a look as well – lots of the same great features as Dubai, except the amazing amazing beaches are all about an hour flight away on georgeous little islands.
