Dubai, like the whole country of the UAE as a whole - a young state. You just imagine that in the 40s of the 20th century there was a small village at the site of this super-modern city, the population of which was engaged in pearl mining.
But the 50th year has changed. Here they began to extract oil, foreign money came here, the country began to develop. That is why many tourists until recently said that there are nothing to watch in the Emirates.
I was lucky, I visited Dubai in 2002, and then in 2014. It is simply impossible to convey words as much as the city has changed. Twelve years ago, you could still see a lifeless desert and how people fall behind a piece of pieces. And now a completely different picture: a powerful magnificent city comes on sands, which as a result of capitulate.
In Dubai there is something to see. He is undoubtedly refers to those cities that have their own unique face. Here you can plunge into a real oriental fairy tale, that's just a fairy tale will be unsaluable.
As I wrote, Dubai is a young city and here not to find ancient streets. This is the city of the future. The only place where you can look into the past is the old part of Dubai - Bastakia. Here you will see the construction of the XIX century - merchant houses, shopping shops and much more. Unfortunately, this is just information hoped from the guide, so now Bastakia is closed for reconstruction. When it ends yet unknown, but knowing the love of the oak authorities to everything beautiful and elegant, you can not doubt that the new-old city will be magnificent.
For lovers of antiquities there is nothing more curious here, except the Museum of Historical Food. "Dubai Museum" (Al Souq Al Kabeer) in the old part of the city, but it is open to visitors.
It contains a solid exposition. You can watch a movie about past these places. Crafts, various household trivia, weapons, finds with archaeological excavations - all this can be seen for 3 dirhams.
But for those who prefer all new, large-scale and exciting spirit, Dubai prepared a lot of surprises.
The first, where all those who arrived in the Emirate - the highest building in the world - Burj Khalifa . This, without exaggeration, the grand structure made in the form of stalagmites. From the observation deck, located on the 148th floor, an insanely beautiful view of the city opens.
The only minus is a huge number of people. Yes, and the price of a ticket is high - $ 27 adult and $ 20 children. Well, if you want to get up quickly and wait for your turn there is no time nor the desire for $ 109, you can purchase a so-called urgent ticket.
Next to the Superbashney is superfant - Dubai Fountain Naturally the highest in the world.
In the dark time, the backlight and the fountain becomes even more impressive.
I am very advised to visit Aquarium - Only so with a capital letter "A". It will be interesting and adult, and the child. Special pride is a transparent tunnel tube. You are literally surrounded by underwater inhabitants, the number of which exceeds 30,000 individuals.
The entrance ticket will cost $ 14. For an additional fee, you can plunge into the steel cell and to be among the toothast predatory sharks. There is also a zoo with various animals.
Snow in the middle of the desert? There is nothing impossible in Dubai (remember the group of artificial islands in the form of a palm tree). If, suddenly you missed cold, go to Ski Dubai - Indoor ski resort.
Here you can go skiing and snowboarding. From the hot desert you get into a real winter landscape with alive Christmas trees and everyday snowfall.
Unfortunately, I spent just a few days in Dubai, but in order for me to demolish my head from the unreality of what is happening, this time was enough. I will return to Dubai. It is necessary that only you need to sink the money is still the city this is not like, and the entertainment is so much that I want to try everything and everything!
