Originally a trading post for pearl fisherman, ultra-modern Dubai has now become the pearl of the Persian Gulf. A city that sparkles with cutting-edge skyscrapers, glamorous shopping malls, and sandy white beaches, Dubai has become one of the top tourist destinations. It’s home to the largest man-made harbor in the world and shopping malls overflowing with designer boutiques. Tucked amid the modernity, a slower and more traditional Dubai still can be found. Explore the extensive bazaars and markets along the winding Dubai Creek. With its combination of new-world luxury and old-world charm, Dubai will exceed any traveler’s expectations.
