A dream : to visit Dubaï !

Dubaï is the most Emirate famous of United Arab Emirates. This fame it's because of tourists projects gigantics particulary for building and a special and excessive architecture.

As the highest hotel of World : "Burj-Al-Arab" who owns 7 stars. It's the symbol of Dubaï. It looks like a sailing boat and has at his top a tennis ground in outdoor (321m above the sea). It's set in the sea on a artificial island.

One of Dubaï impressive project is "The World". 300 artificials islands represent the World. Each island cost aroud between 6,2 and 36,7 millions dollars.


An other construction : "Palm Island Dubaï". It's 3 islands who form palms. Hotels, seaside resort, tourists structures and individual houses are available... but it's of course very very expensive !

With these projects, they want to be the first region of World for tourism (luxury tourism !) and to become one of world pole for family tourism, business...
