Dubai Has Arrived!
The Emirate of Dubai in the U.A.E. is one of the great success stories internationally in the process of economic development. Traditionally the trading hub of the region, Dubai is now extending its success into tourism and knowledge based industries. Testament to Dubai’s arrival on the international stage was hosting of the prestigious IMF/World Bank meetings in September 2003. Since then several major international business, social and sporting events have been held in Dubai on an ongoing basis.From the timeless tranquillity of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors embracing a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. With a sub-tropical, arid climate, Dubai is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era. These contrasts give Dubai its unique flavour and personality; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia. At first glance, the city presents a predominantly modern face, an ever-changing skyline of new developments, from striking glass and concrete towers to gracious modern buildings incorporating traditional Arabian architectural motifs and features. Dubai’s strategic location is also a key element in its success. The heart of one of the worlds richest regions, Dubai is located midway between the Far East and Europe. Multi-national companies increasingly see Dubai as the obvious choice for establishing operations in the region.Proximity to the Indian subcontinent also gives access to a market of over 1 billion people. Outside this core, the city extends to the neighbouring Emirate of Sharjah to the north, while extending south and west in a long ribbon of development alongside the Gulf, through the districts of Satwa, Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim Having expanded along both banks of the Creek, Dubai’s central business district is divided into two parts - Deira on the northern side and Bur Dubai to the south - connected by a tunnel and two bridges. Each has its share of fine mosques and busy souks, of public buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks, hospitals, schools, apartments and villas.|
