18 December by into1 | Inspiration |

Dubai seems to be the kind of place that people either love or hate. Some people hate the “city of gold” for its arrogance, superficiality and showing off, the big gap between the ultra rich, and the very poor. Others really love the “desert miracle” for the sun, beaches, shiny skyscrapers, no taxes, dynamic economy, creativity, opportunities and potential. Here you can discover 45 artistic impressions of the city of that grew out of the desert.

Fact is: Dubai is one of the most happening places on earth and its phenomenal growth is unprecedented. As one of the 7 United Arab Emirates, Dubai is an important business center, port and tourist destination with plenty of things to see. Over the past decades, Dubai became an important financial hub and a Mideast version of Las Vegas. The entrepreneurial spirit, cosmopolitan lifestyle and vibrant fusion of cultures are omni-present and locals are known for their traditional Arabic hospitality. Dubai is also very famous for its luxury shopping and blessed with silvery beaches and golden sunshine most of the year.

The river Creek divides the “oasis city of the Persian Gulf” into 2 main sections: Bur Dubai to the southern side and Deira to the north. Each side has an amazing number of architectural landmarks: stunning skyscrapers, office towers, hotels, shopping malls, banks, apartments and villas. Design masterpieces include the tallest skyscraper in the world (Burj Dubai), the wave shaped Jumeirah hotel, the twin Emirate Towers, award winning hotel Burj Al Arab hotel and the Dubai Gulf & Yacht Club's clubhouse.
