There is something more amazing about Dubai than the worlds tallest building, first seven star hotel, man made islands or indoor ski slope; it is the vision of the Emaritis who had an ambition to transform Dubai form a barren land to an something extraordinary and unique.
It might be hard to believe but almost a decade ago, Dubai was nothing more than a desert in the middle of nowhere, completely unknown to the rest of the world. And Dubai's growth from that barren land, to a unique place with a luxurious lifestyle has been unbelievable; I have witnessed this growth myself during the 7 amazing years that I spent there. Dubai is famous for its luxurious lifestyle, expensive cars on newly constructed roads, gold and spice souk, excellent preservation of Arabian culture, and many more.
Burj Al Arab: Standing at 321 meters high on its own artificial island out form Jumeirah Beach, the Burj Al Arab is the worlds tallest hotel in the world. Its structure resembles the sail of a ship and is the tallest tower with the outer portion made of a membrane which changes color every 30 minutes. It is also one of the most expensive hotels in the world to stay in with the least expensive suites ranging from $1,000 to over $6,000 a night while the most expensive suites can cost over $15,000 a night.

Ski Dubai: Ski Dubai brings a chilly and snowy environment to a dry and arid Dubai. You have the option of skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing or just playing around in the snow. The slope is a 400 meter run, about 85 meters high and has a chair lift for getting to the top. Adjacent to it is a snow park, complete with toboggan rides, a snow tower, a snowman-building place, ice sculptures, and a coffee shop with ice chairs and tables.
Desert Safari: Even though it might not be as well known as the other attractions, the Desert Safari is truly an amazing experience where you get a glimpse of Arabian culture. This all day experience starts off with 2 hours of thrilling dune bashing, where you ride up and down the sand dunes in a 4x4 wheel drive in a desert on the outskirts of Dubai. Then, you will stop for a while to watch the sunset; a breathtaking view. Next, you will be taken to a camp where you can go for a camel ride, have henna put on by a local lady or simply relax with a drink on traditional Arab style seating. Then, you will be entertained by dances by male dancers as well as belly dancers while you enjoy you buffet style BBQ. The desert safari is a must-do if you visit Dubai and gives you a unique taste of Arabian culture.
Burj Khalifa (aka Burj Dubai): At 2,717ft (828 metres), the tapering, silvery tower ranks as not only the world's highest skyscraper, but also the tallest freestanding structure in the world, bypassing the Taipei 101 by about 1000 feet! It has 162 floors and houses 1,044 apartments, 160 hotel rooms, and 49 floors of office space, and an observation deck at the 124th floor. Its amazing and unique structure makes it look like a silver needle poking out of the Arabian desert. The Burj Khalifa is an emblem of Dubai's hard work and dedication, and proves its belief that the sky is the limit.
