One of the standout city landmarks is the Burj Al Arab, a sail-shaped structure set against the backdrop of the Arabian Sea.

If you have never been to Dubai before ,do the two days bus tour to get your bearings and a good idea of how to get about in dubai. Built up areas but exciting with many interesting place to hang out. Need transport for some areas but they have a great Metro system, cheap, very modern and easy to manoeuvre Dubai has a lot to do and see.got to remember it was a desert, it's polluted with to many cars and when it's very very dry, it's very dusty. Not to hit in April, it's manageable with great air conditioning. It's a beautiful country. Planning to go back next year. Best place was the old Dubai, favourite place the museum of the future, especially the sculpture of innovation then the frame. Best food the local community restaurant. Cheapest transport the 1Aed. By boat.
Good Things First !
27 April 2024
Good Things First !! Dubai's The Mecca of International Trade between GCC - Med and Africa !! Is as Vibrant as it was 12 years ago!! Has grown by leaps and bounds in terms of Population and Business Houses. has the maximum number of SEZ business registrations. Own Emirate Airlines is indeed a very cooperative airline. Taxi drivers are polite and knowledgeable. Huge Malls Dragon Mart is an ocean for household goods - from pin to plane, things are available. Dubai Needs to Evolve in terms of mass public transport - civic behavior in terms of Indian menu almost nil except few restaurants offering veg in terms of making Taxi transport more attractive for tourists who come from abroad in terms of direct connectivity from the airport to all areas, every 20 minutes buses should commence. the maintenance of the Biggest Fruit and Vegetable Market is not as it has to be - need the municipality to bring change. The airport restaurants are almost serving EU menus rather than Indian The Emirates Merchandise is to be almost subsidized so that more and more Dubai lingers in the minds of the People.
