Dubai - that's the name of the mega-metropolis on the Persian Gulf. Here, one construction project drives the next: artificial islands in the shape of palm trees, glamorous shopping malls and gigantic skyscrapers. The small emirate of Dubai outdoes itself with visions of the extra class. Hotels in Dubai are stuck in the middle of this magical land where everything seems possible. To see another side of Dubai, visit the dreamy sandy beaches or the oriental souks.
