DUBAI
 |
Dubai is the most beautiful place in this world (that's my opinion)^^ Well, as we know this city is the most expensive city in the world and also in Middle East. It is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf and is one of the seven emirates that make up the country. Many theories have been proposed as to the origin of the word "Dubai". One theory suggests the word was used to describe the souq, which was similar to the souq in Ba. Another theory states that the name came from a word meaning "money", as people from Dubai were commonly believed to be rich due to the thriving trading center of the location. An Arabic proverb says "Daba Dubai", meaning "they came with a lot of money."
It's a city that some people I know adore just as much as myself. Personally, I've been blinded by the lights of Dubai and have a rosy-attitude towards the place despite the construction work and sweltering heat. You might fall head over heels for Dubai
This is why I love Dubai and you guys should love too :

The third is Old Souk or we can also say Textile Souk. Here, you will find a lot of silks, fabrics, shoes, etc. In my opinion, it is also the one with the most beautiful buildings of all Dubai souks.
2. Burj Al-Arab and Burj Khalifa
You have no idea how attractive Dubai is. There are 2 most beautiful buildings here in Dubai. As we know Dubai has the tallest building in the world. Let me tell you about the buildings.
The Burj is probably the most iconic building of modern Dubai and on the list of many visitors to Dubai. My guess, however is that unless you have flown in on your private jet, you will not be staying at this 7-star hotel.
