Dubai, The World's Most Expensive Tourist Destination, as envisioned by its (Emir/Prince/Amir) ______ Dubai is not a city, it is an Emirate(An emirate is a political territory that is ruled by a dynastic Muslim Monarch styled emir) and it is one of the seven Emirates of the UAE. It is UAE's most populated emirate, however only 20% of its population are locals called Emiratees, 80% is composed by Expats. ______ When going around Dubai, its contrast is something that will be one of the things that will hit you hard. Divided by the Dubai Creek, the modern Bur Dubai is connected to Deira by the Al Maktoum Bridge, its underwater tunnel and the its traditional boats called Abras. ______ Dubai is first and foremost a Dessert in the Middle East, so almost everything you see from water sources, flowers, plants and other green decorations need tons of water. Thus, Dubai is the biggest consumer of water in the world, and they get theirs in part from the Ocean by DESALINATION. Dubai is naturally rich in oil as they are in dire need of fresh water. ______ In Dubai's street you will see MONEY SPENT LAVISHLY, cars like the MASIRATI, LAMBORGINI, JAGUARS, AUDI R8 are commonly seen in the usual traffic and HI-END models of each Car Brand grace the streets as their daily family and personal utility vehicle. ______ See the notes on each photo to see details of their importance. Because in Dubai, EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR A REASON, but EVERYTHING IS CREATED FOR A REASON. ______ One thing that is noticeable, the Sheik makes sure that his Emirate will be known around the world as being the MOST in everything that matters.

not really, but I was VERY careful not to include people in my photos, as it is prohibited or something :) especially their women. I can assure you though, there was a lot of people around, at this time my friends told me the heat was already not so bad, it came from 52degreess celcius in summer

There seems to be very few people in the images. Is that due to the climate?
