I visited Dubai for the first time last year and was very impressed as soon as I had hit the airport. A friend picked me up and took me to a hotel where we were to stay for a night and day, before leaving for Abu Dhabi.
I didn't have any idea which hotel we were about to stay in. As we pulled off the expressway, I noticed the two beautiful towers of the World Trade Centre at the heart of Dubai, as we approached them. As I was gazing at the towers and the numerous buildings surrounding it, I didn't notice the Fairmont Hotel fast approaching.

Advantages: Exclusive, brilliant, luxurious, great service Disadvantages: very expensive
The Burj Al Arab also known as The Tower of Arabs is one of the major attractions in Dubai. It is located on a man-made island on the Persian Gulf.

The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island, which is approximately 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah Beach. The island on which the Burj Al Arab is located is connected to the mainland ...
Advantages: Dubai is a safe place with very good quality of life. There is universal brotherhood everywhere. Disadvantages: None for me, but the hot weather for tourists who are not used to this.

It was Friday, the 24th January 1975, when I first landed at Dubai International Airport by Kuwait Airways. The airport looked small with sand stretching on the sides. I had left my motherland for the first time and I felt a twinge in my heart for leaving my dear ones back at home. There was a sandstorm while I was moving along the roads of Dubai and my spirits further descended to low ebb. But that was the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Days transformed into years and my family joined me and my children grew up here and Dubai was ...
