Burj Al Arab
The Creek and Water Taxi
Dubai Skyline
We flew Emirates to get to our final destination which was Egypt. Emirates offers free stopovers in Dubai. They will arrange for your transit visa in Dubai provided you avail of their stopover tours. So we took this opportunity to finally see the financial center of the Middle East.
You will like Dubai if you are after a progressive city with modern and high rise buildings and big malls. But if you are after culture and history, you will be disappointed. You will be brought to Al Fajidi Fort where the Dubai Museum is located during the city tour. Although the Fort is said to be at least 150 years old, it appears to be newly constructed/restored.
Nonetheless, Dubai is still worth visiting if only to get to see the great strides achieved by a once poor Middle East nation in the last decade.
