The discovery of oil in 1966 transformed a

small village on the banks of the Dubai Creek

into the most prestigious urban development

initiative in the Middle East almost overnight.

Welcome to luxurious Dubai. Just like its

fantastic birth from the desert, the city of

Dubai is a fantasy-land. Before its rapid rise to

the international vacation scene, Dubai

sustained itself on pearl diving, and that

heritage of gems and glamour has not been

forgotten. Luxury is in the city's blood - Dubai

can lay claim to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest

skyscraper; the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the

world's tallest and only seven-star hotel; the

World Islands, a collection of 300 man-made

islands arranged like the world atlas; the Palm

Islands, three artificial islands in the shape of

the date palm tree; and the Dubai Mall, the

world's largest shopping mall. Stable, safe,

and friendly, Dubai and the United Arab

Emirates are a premier vacation destination

for the world traveler who wants to see it all.
