Explore Dubai

Dubai is a modern Arabian metropolis, a regional hub for business and leisure and an international crossroads. Visiting this futuristic desert city is a unique and fascinating experience.

Dubais rise from unknown to household name confirms the adage that in the world of celebrity it can take 20 years to become an overnight success. In the late 1980s, few people outside the oil industry would have found this former fishing and pearling village on a map. In the space of a few decades, the city has transformed itself from a modest Arabian trading town, which few outside the region had ever heard of, into one of the planets most glamorous, futuristic and talked-about destinations, home to the worlds tallest building, its biggest shopping mall, its largest man-made island and a host of other record-busting developments all of which continue to attract hyperbole, admiration and derision in equal measure.
