Dubai, a most interesting place to visit

by Tricia

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.

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?
