Dubai is divided into two parts, Deira on the
northern side and Bur Dubai on southern side. Dubai is
blessed with mosques and busy souks, public buildings,
shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks, hospitals,
schools, apartments and villas. Dubai is having golden
sunshine and silvery beaches, world-class golf
facilities and an upcoming Sports City, Fashion city,
Knowledge village, and entertainment city.
There are many exquisite places in Dubai that can take
you into the world of fantasy and admiration. One such
place is The Burj Al Arab, a rare jewel that can be
found in the world. One of the most luxurious hotels in
the world, it has earned the name of being the first
seven-star hotel; and till date, the tallest hotel in
the world. Then comes the palm island, which is the
first man-made island in UAE. It is a must see place in
Dubai. Also called Palm Dubai, or simply The Palms, it
is considered the eighth wonder of the world. These
islands got its name from the shape, which resembles a
date palm tree consisting of trunk, crown fronds, and
surrounded by a crescent island that acts as a
breakwater.

mouth-watering buildings on its both sides and it makes
you feel that you are walking in the streets of New
