Yasheka 50th Luxury Birthday Celebration
There is much to see and do in Dubai although perhaps shopping malls and beaches are its major attractions. There is no lack of either. The downtown area has an amazing cluster of modern high rises including the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa with an observation platform for breathtaking views. Jumeirah Beach is probably the best known beach with many International chain hotels offering accommodation. Also worth seeing is the Dubai Museum which relates the history and development of the city. Don’t for a second think there is nothing ancient here – try the Gold and Spice souks or walk in the old atmospheric neighbourhoods.

Dubai is located southeast of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula and is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. It houses the largest population in the UAE and is considered the most moderate and progressive of all the emirates to be experienced on a Dubai vacation.
Early archaeological findings in Dubai date back to around 8000 BC, however, the Sheikhdom of Dubai was not formally established until 1833. By the beginning of the 20th century, the area was an important trading hub and with the discovery of oil in 1966, infrastructure began to expand. Just a few years later, in 1971, Dubai became the second emirate to join the UAE.
Thanks to the revenues from the oil industry, a construction boom began in the 1980s, continued in the 1990s and the pace with which it accelerated during the new millennium was unrivaled anywhere else. As a result of this expansion, Dubai has grown into a cosmopolitan region famous around the world for its immense construction projects including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, skyscrapers, man-made islands and luxurious hotels, all to be wondered at on a Dubai vacation.
