Dubai. A guide with a map and a mini phrasebook

Dubai is a city of the future, existing in real time, a city of happy people! It is comfortable to live and work here, to relax and have fun. Today, it is the largest city in the United Arab Emirates and a deep-water seaport, the administrative center of the emirate of the same name, located on the shores of the Persian Gulf. It is famous for its luxurious shops, ultramodern architecture, restaurants, and nightclubs. The silhouette of the city is formed by countless skyscrapers, but the most famous of them is the Burj Khalifa, which stands 830 meters tall. The history of high-rise construction here began in 1979 with the 39-story Dubai World Trade Center, and today the list of the tallest buildings has grown. This includes the tallest (72-story) hotel, Marriott Marquis Dubai (355 m), the largest Ferris wheel in the world - "Ain Dubai" (250 m), the first and currently the only panoramic pool in the world, Aura Skypool, located in the Palm Tower by Nakheel at a height of 200 m, and many other attractions. Despite the desert climate, Dubai has created a unique flower park, Miracle Garden, which is considered the largest in the world. The artificial Palm Islands are the largest man-made archipelago in the world. It is on one of these artificial islands, near the coast, that the resort Atlantis The Palm, popular among many Russians, is located, featuring a water park and a marine animal park. The Dubai Metro is the longest fully automated rail network in the world. Another attraction is the three-kilometer Dubai Canal with a designated pedestrian area. The main attraction of the Mall of the Emirates shopping center is Ski Dubai - an artificial ski slope that operates year-round! Dubai is the first Arab city to have the honor of hosting the World Expo "Expo 2020". In Dubai, everyone will find something to enjoy: you can look forward to numerous amusement parks, clean beaches, sand dune safaris, Eastern exoticism, magnificent shopping, numerous restaurants, and a high level of service!
