BOOK DUBAI

DESCRIPTION

An international port city and desert oasis, Dubai is one of the Middle East’s most important metropolises. With humble beginnings in the fishing, fishing and pearling industries, Dubai has since eclipsed its historical origins. The most populous of the seven emirates united by founder Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in 1971, Dubai is a treasure trove of the biggest and brightest, attracting architectural stars such as Zaha Hadid, Foster + Partners and Santiago Calatrava. Dubai’s skyline includes the world’s tallest tower, Burj Khalifa, the giant Dubai Mall, the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel and Dubai International Airport, the ultimate extravagance. Dubai Wonder takes readers on a tour of this historic city, its cultural diversity, and its distinct neighborhoods, including Deira, home to Dubai Creek, a cove that has relied on for decades for diving and pearl diving; Al Quoz, the city’s cultural heart; Dubai Wonder also takes readers inside Expo 2020 Dubai, billed as the largest world’s fair in history. A hub of innovation and firsts, Dubai represents a vision of the future, where anything is possible, as demonstrated on every page of this impressive addition to Assouline’s Voyage series.
