Top Places To Visit In Dubai

 Dubai has emerged as a dynamic political economy, with a strong international profile and large expatriate population attracted by the emirate’s relatively liberal social norms. In response to the emirate’s relatively low reserves of oil, in contrast to those of Abu Dhabi, Dubai is in the process of transforming itself into one of the world’s leading business, financial and tourism centres. It is now recognised as a truly cosmopolitan city of the future, having grown from a small trading outpost to the leading commercial centre in the Middle East.

It has the largest population with the second largest land territory by area of all the emirates, after Abu Dhabi. It is a great place for tourism and is famous world over.

In 2002, the original two islands announced were the Palm Jumeirah and the Palm Jebel Ali and this project is being undertaken by Al Nakheel Properties (Nakheel Corporation). These islands are built in the shape of palm trees and there are houses on these islands to live in. It is simply marvelous.
