Rest assured, you will always be within the sight line of a splendid view no matter where in Dubai you might be.
Did you know that the vast majority of residents living in Dubai come from outside the country- and accounts for roughly 90% of its population? Expats from across the world, over 200 different nationalities to be specific, take up residence in Dubai making it the most cosmopolitan city of the world. Hence it hosts a variety of diverse cultural mores and proudly flaunts some unmatched diversity among its populace.
Dubai is not a place that you should ever second guess on when it comes to the food scene. Being one of the most cosmopolitan cities of the world, there is no better place under this sun and moon to unleash your tastebuds to get a taste of what they love! The city flaunts a spectacular range of food styles within is city with major influences budding from Arabian, Persian, Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, French, Japanese, Chinese, British and last but not least, American cuisines.
The sea, the sun and the sand are three of the most compelling reasons rolled into one that you should definitely touch-down here.

In an era where everything and everyone is so fascinated about the world's largest's and 'world's fastest's, it's beyond impossible to overlook the fact that Dubai houses the World's Tallest Building to ever have been built so far! The Burj Khalifa standing monumentally tall is approximately 828m tall and is near twice the height of New York's Empire State building.
This is the one most unmissable thing in Dubai- if it's even an accurate term to use! This is one of the biggest artificial islands to ever have been built to date and was brought to being between the period of 2001 – 2006 and houses luxurious establishments including mansions and 5-star hotels within and surrounding it including Avani Palm View Dubai Hotel & Suites.
The number of luxurious hotels that Dubai hosts as a whole is certainly not surprising considering how wealthy and high-end its populace actually is.

Saving the best for the last, need we even go on about how spectacularly huge and frequent Dubai's super malls are? Specifically, important for curious shoppers, the month-long Dubai shopping festival is basically the jackpot for anyone looking to spend some and win some too!
