and finance have shown steady growth and

everything from rugged mountains and
awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy
beaches and lush green parks, from dusty
villages to luxurious residential
districts and from ancient houses with
wind towers to ultra-modern shopping
malls. The annual Dubai Shopping

an internationally-known event, with
thousands of bargains, draws, shows,
promotions and some of the world’s

estate development projects have led to
the construction of some of the tallest
skyscrapers and largest projects in the
world such as the Emirates Towers, the
Burj Dubai, the Palm Islands and the

hotel the Burj Al Arab.
