One adjective is enough to describe Dubai: exaggerated.
From the 800-metre-high skyscrapers to the shopping malls with more than 600 shops, from the 7-star hotels to the artificial slopes where you can ski even at 40 degrees, practically nothing is an exception.
Dubai is a cosmopolitan and multicultural city located in the United Arab Emirates on the south-east coast of the Persian Gulf.
The city is famous for its modern and innovative architecture, a number of public artworks, including the Dubai Fountain, the largest musical fountain in the world, and the artificial palm tree
of Palm Jumeirah, one of the largest artificial islands in the world.
The city also has a strong food culture and is home to many fine restaurants serving international cuisines.
Despite its modernity, Dubai also has a strong cultural identity. The city is home to numerous museums, such as the Dubai Museum and the Women's Museum, which present the history and culture of the United Arab Emirates.
Famous is the traditional Souk in Deira, a traditional market where one can find textiles, spices and other traditional goods.
