About the city Dubai
Dubai was originally a fishermen settlement. It became the wealthiest city in the world due to its rich deposits of oil. Today's Dubai offers very well maintained streets, plenty of green areas, fancy buildings, the most luxurious hotels in the world and beaches with gold-colored sand. The city Dubai is situated at the northern edge of the emirate Dubai, at the border with the adjacent emirate of Sharjah, so it grows mostly towards the south.Tourist attractions in Dubai
