Welcome to Dubai
While Dubai is one of seven emirates that comprise the United Arab Emirates, the destination has a unique personality all its own. It's the most progressive and contemporary among all its Arab cousins, and the trade and tourism industries are particularly thriving here. Despite a few setbacks - the economic crash of 2008 took a strong toll on the locale - the city has continued to blossom and make a name for itself among the world-class destinations all over the globe. It has a diverse population with the biggest immigrant population on earth, and its motley culture can be seen in the architecture, eateries, landmarks and other features lining the streets.
It's worth noting that Dubai has been chosen as the site for the famed EXPO 2020, the first time it's been held in the Middle East. This even is a massive fair that can last up to six months and attracts visitors from all over the world. To prepare for the event, the city has begun making upgrades and adding new features to wow the millions of people expected to attend. That means guests have the opportunity to see the city as it reinvents itself while exploring the historical and cultural attractions that make it a global hub.
