From Palm-Shaped Islands To The World's Tallest Buildings...

One of those cities that never ceases to amaze is Dubai. This active city attracts a lot of people due to its location, rich history, large expat population, wealth, and lively culture, to name a few. Prepare to pack your bags if you haven't been to Dubai yet, this is for you.

The world's largest mall is located there

The world's largest mall at the moment, Dubai Mall is a true dream come true for any shopaholic. The mall is home to every kind of store and entertainment imaginable, but it also has the feel of a small city, with most Dubai residents congregating there on weekends to catch up.

And the world's tallest structure

The Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest structure, is located in Dubai and illuminates the city from every angle. Its light displays and fireworks at New Year's are just one more reason why this city is so unique; you will never get tired of gazing at it.

Foreigners make up almost 90% of the UAE's population, with the majority residing in Dubai.

Due to its extraordinarily high immigrant and expat population, the United Arab Emirates is unlike nearly every other nation in the world. Dubai is a truly unique and diverse place to visit or call home because it is one of the world's most diverse and international cities.

The diverse range of cultures and religions

Due to its large expat population, Dubai has developed into a truly global city with a wide variety of restaurants, cultural events, language schools, and places of worship all year long. With so many different cultures celebrating various holidays over the weekend, there's always something exciting to look forward to!

The global culinary scene

There is good food to be found in most major cities in the world, but Dubai's food scene stands out for its variety. You'll never have any trouble satisfying your wildest food cravings, from mouthwatering food stalls on the beach to five-star restaurants serving food fit for a king, from local Emirati cuisine to the most diverse culinary scenes thanks to the large expat population.

The delivery system in Dubai (and the reasons it spoils us for eternity)

Almost anything can be delivered in Dubai, including groceries, electronics, and furniture. All you have to do is click or call. Dubai meets all of our needs and allows us to order in rather than go out because of the heat of the desert and the local mentality that prohibits people from walking outside alone. The takeout food delivery is always a hit!

The lavishness

Dubai is one of the most opulent cities in the world, despite having a laid-back vibe because of the many different cultures that coexist there. Dubai undoubtedly has its moments of extreme extravagance, from the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Hotel with its $35,000 per night Royal Suite to the opulent Burj Al Arab Hotel, also known as the “7 Star Hotel”, and from the Lamborghini police cars in Dubai to the gold-infused coffee you can order casually at brunch.

Despite its quick modernization, its connections to culture and tradition

Dubai is distinct in that it has managed to preserve its cultural, religious, and traditional values in spite of its rapid development and modernization. Many young Emiratis from Dubai are proud to live in a city that embraces change and newcomers while remaining loyal to its history. They are also aware of and continue to practice their local customs and traditions.

Female rights

Despite the fact that most nations in the world still have a long way to go in terms of women's rights, Dubai stands out in the area due to the strength of the native Emirati women in the workforce and in education. The future looks bright as more and more women are succeeding in government, the public sector, universities, and the sciences. The recently established UAE Gender Balance Council will continue to ensure gender equality in education and the workforce.
