The idea of its creation appeared two years later. Not far from it there is another largest artificial archipelago - the World. And the rest world population can admire this beauty for free, for example, from the bird's-eye view that allows understand its size and forms. On the Palm Islands there is a super luxurious hotel Atlantis as well as other chic hotels most mansions and apartments have already been acquired by the richest people of the planet or are still waiting for their turn to be bought. And there is a monorail on the bridge - the first one in the Middle East. The island joins the mainland with the 300-meters bridge and the crescent and a palm top are connected with an underwater tunnel. The island's size is 5 by 5 meters the total size is comparable with eight hundred football fields. The Jumeira is surrounded by a crescent which is both Islamic symbol and simultaneously a breakwater. As a result, close to the Emirate's coast "three palm trees" grew: the Jebel Ali, the Deira and the Jumeira. Millions of tons of both sand and stones were being put by the workers imitating a palm which is the most honored and popular tree of the East. The construction of the biggest in the world archipelago named Palm Islands began in Dubai Emirate in 2001. And the most outstanding project in that sphere is the artificial islands of the Emirates. The answer is evident: the landscapes have been created artificially in order to overtake and surpass as well as to eclipse and impress as much as ever possible. But exactly the Emirates are famous for their landscapes. That kind of wealth is quite enough in the neighbor country of the region. The Emirates can't boast of either impressive mountain relief like the Alps do, or of water zest which is fiords located in Norway or of great forests with the richest flora and fauna of Amazonia.The desert, sea coast and oil, perhaps, are the only wealth of the UAE. Millions of tourists come there to see its places if interest, however, almost all of them are man-made. The United Arab Emirates is one of the most amazing countries in the world. Nowadays the Emirate holds a leading position in gold jewelry manufacturing, and gold prices in Dubai are such that very few can resist the temptation of bringing home half of a suitcase filled with jewelry made of this precious metal. Turning back to its history, a long time ago Dubai started out as exporter of pearls, but at the end of XX century it couldn't afford to act on such a small scale. Finally, beaches of Dubai have made this emirate one of the most popular resorts in the world. Due to its average temperature of 35,5✬, Dubai is one of the hottest cities in the world. One can enjoy skiing in the midst of 30 degree heat in the center of the desert - isn't it impressive? This is exactly what Dubai intends to do: to surprise, impress and bewilder with its novel ideas.Įven the weather in Dubai participates in this race for the "best of the best" title. For example, Ski Dubai, the indoors ski resort is not only the largest in the region, but the first one in the entire Middle East where one could enjoy skiing. Note: all interesting things in Dubai either hold a world-record title in size or are pioneers in its areas. "Dubai Marina" is the largest and the most exclusive yacht harbor in the world. The largest shopping and entertainment center in the Middle East - "Dubai Mall" - also features one of the world's largest aquariums. Breathtaking group of artificial islands: Palm islands (a gigantic tree built off the coast of the Persian Gulf) and World Islands, shaped as the Earth's continents.Īll this is just a beginning! Besides its attractions, Dubai is known as a shopper's heaven. Here is just a short list of Dubai's attractions: Burj Khalifa skyscraper that looks like stalagmite or a desert flower with thin petals Seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel, shaped like a sail, rises on a special artificial island (hotel room prices at Burj Al Arab start from one thousand dollars per night!) 150-meter musical fountain that lifts 83 thousand liters of water up in the air while performing Arabic and international musical hits. Dubai is best described as "the City of the Future": nowhere else on the planet you will find so many incredible architectural constructions that are ultra-modern and even ahead of our times. The origins of Dubai trace back to the VII century, however few people associate the largest city of the United Arab Emirates with ancient times.
