DUBAI

The ultramodern and spectacular architecture in this city in the United Arab Emirates rises up out of one of the driest deserts on the planet. The Old City straddles the Creek, a natural estuary that separates the Bur Dubai and Deira districts, home to magnificent souks and the city's lively nightlife. Make the most of your trip to Dubai by visiting any of its numerous shopping malls, including the Dubai Mall, the mall with the greatest number of visitors in the world. It even has an ice ring inside! Dubai Marina is a 4-kilometre artificial canal lined with huge skyscrapers and full of the most luxurious yachts. Palm Jumeirah is an archipelago of artificial islands that are shaped like a palm tree when you see them from above.
