My Visit to Dubai and Abi Dhabi

When you arrive in Dubai during the winter to 'less hot', about 20-25C. I still have not been there during the summer but I guess 50C summer is to stay home - the opposite of Europe! Still no air conditioning in most places. One thing that surprised me was the weather sandstorms. Care must be taken when the wind blows the sand up and down the streets and the sky. The most incredible is that the city is a place that is growing fast and steadily, with cranes and construction across the landscape. The edficio highest in the world, Burj Dubai, is almost finished and Dubai Mall with over 1200 stores, aquariums, ice rinks ... The Mall of Emirates with ski trail also shows the appearance of fast-growing city. For me there are two Dubais. First the "Old Dubai?, With its souks and street markets that show the traditional city. Then there is the most shining and new Dubai, with shopping malls, luxury hotels, restaurants. It can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, but both are the authentic and true Dubai, just different. The UAE is a new country and a lot of development has been since the discovery of oil in the 50 and the unification of the Emirates in the early 70's.

This is how THE GOVERNMENT has decided to continue development from skyscrapers to boutique hotels, there's something for everyone. Abu Dhabi has an incredible development plan and will build a Louvre museum (affiliated to Paris), a Guggenheim, and a theater ... Want to differentiate becoming the cultural capital of the country. The Emirates Palace Hotel deserves to be seen and non-Muslim people can visit the great mosque that has guided tours at 10 every day but Friday. The Souk in Shangri-La has many restaurants and bars overlooking the water at the mosque, and construction, of course!
