Let`s move into the City now and see why this Country has been made so famous, well if you like sun, shopping, fine dining and a very high level of luxury this is the place to be seen. I chose this image as it shows the built up areas close to the coastline and also the projects offshore such as Palm Islands and the World.
Here`s what most people do in their leisure time, relax at the pool and take in the sun and why not!
Here is a close up of the heli pad on Burj Al Arab this was made famous when Agassi and Federer played a game of tennis up there a few years ago and was aired all over the World for the highest game ever!
Lastly in this section a road sign to Abu Dhabi as thats where we`re heading next in the background of this image is the Emirates Towers it`s also an amazing design and was a first for the City on such a grand scale.
Abu Dhabi
Everyone assumes that Dubai is the capital of the U.A.E. but it`s not actually Abu Dhabi is. This very oil rich neighbor down the road hardly get`s any attention that was until one of the City developers recently bought Manchester City football club!
The City is not as big as Dubai and there is a real shortage of quality housing there something which is about to change with the announcement of freehold property.
The City boasts an amazing golf club that attracts many of the Worlds best players, it`s amazing how they keep the grass so green in such ultra hot conditions.
There is a new hotel there called Emirates Palace here is an arial shot of it`s grand gardens, again another hotel trying to take luxury to another level, I think they may have done just that.
Burj Dubai
This is now officially the Worlds tallest building and has been the talking point of many conversation in Dubai over the last few years, its not surprising as you can usually see it from wherever you are located.
Here is a shot later on in the construction cycle and from above.
And lastly a more recent shot with the glass panels intact and the final shape of the tower which is like a needle.
Dubai Hotels
I would say the City now has arguably some of the finest modern hotels in the World right now and that is no mean feat considering the Global competition.
First up is the Fairmont.
Next is the Emirates Towers as mentioned before.
Next is Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the smaller sister of the Burj Al Arab
And finally when I mentioned luxurious before here is an example of what I mean an interior room
Dubai Homes
Since the Dubai property market was announced as freehold in 2002 there has been a frenzy of buying, selling, flipping properties to make it the most dynamic market in the World.
There are a range of villas and apartments that are springing up all over the City to pave way for the influx of residents.
Many come with private pools or are beachfront properties.
Others come with golf course views or lake views in nice communities these homes are great for families with kids as there is so much to do.
Dubai Jobs
In the past few years everyone has seemed to want to get a job in Dubai as it seems such a good place with tax free earnings and excellent weather year round.
If you are looking for a job in Dubai it is best to search online first if you are overseas.
If not buy a book! There are many out there that are a really good read.
