Dubai is a city that is known to all in the world. It is the gregarious city having a fabulous international taste. It is incomparable from the more than all of other seven Emirates of United Arab Emirates. Dubai is a city of variety, a conglomeration of exotic beaches, elite natural environ, dynamic center of international business and a comfortable and luxurious escape for the tourist and moreover the delightful shopping capital of the whole of Middle East. All this makes Dubai a place hard to resist.
Dubai's central business district is divided into two parts-Deira in the north and Bur Dubai in the south. Both the districts are well connected by a tunnel and two bridges. Each one is decorated with fine mosques and busy places, like shopping malls, public buildings, office towers, hotels, banks, schools, hospitals, apartments and villas.
It is a consummate mix of glorified history and surging times that are throbbing with trade, celebration tradition, and sporting events. Being in Dubai, you can experience a wide mix-n-match of natural blessings.

Yet, apart from all the modernity of Dubai, the Islamic culture of Arabia remains deeply rooted and adds to the exceptional personality of Dubai.
