Dubai is probably the most cosmopolitan city in the world with 85 percent of its population comprising of foreigners. UAE is also a country that is fast investing in education and industry before oil runs out or the demand for oil decreases, considering the advancements in environmentally friendly energy sources.
A little about Dubai
There are many uncommon facets to Dubai. It’s a city where you’ll find Ferraris and other expensive and powerful cars being used as police cars. Not far back, in the late 60’s there were less than 20 cars in the city and today you will find hundreds of thousands of luxury cars being driven around. It’s among those cities that have the most sunshine days. The same as it used to be in Singapore decades back, people from all over the world throng to this city not just for the beaches but also for shopping since it’s a tax free state.
The public transport is excellent. If you’re not a muslim you are legally allowed to consume alcohol and pork. Also if you’re a non muslim you are allowed to wear a swimsuit at the beaches and the swimming pools at the hotels.
