Dubai's growth in the last decade has been phenomenal; and there are only signs of faster development, with massive real estate and leisure projects attracting international attention. The city has built an enviable infrastructure and earned a reputation for constantly reinventing itself, chalking out strategic plans for development.
Dubai is an international success story in terms of economic development; and a monument to modern architecture, being home to landmarks like the Burj Al Arab - the world’s only seven star hotel; and the two palm shaped islands considered the eighth wonder of the world. Over 45 mega development projects are currently underway here, including the Hydro polis, a hotel that will be built partially under the sea; and Dubailand, a new £3billion Disneyland style theme park.
