Your Dream Dubai An oasis of fun

From desert village to cosmopolitan metropolis, Dubai’s skyline has risen from the dunes in just 50 years. A beacon of luxury and leisure, it’s more than just infinity pools and champagne at sunset — the city is also a global business hub and the region’s top financial center. Home to a melting pot of more than 200 nationalities, the “City of Superlatives” is many things to many people: a beach resort, a desert adventure, a shopping paradise, a city-sized party, a giant arcade, a decadent buffet, an adrenaline-junkie’s dream. Whether you’re living in Dubai, here for work, or on vacation, the question is — which Dubai are you?
