Dubai<br />
An Arabian City of Splendor<br />
o one will ever believe that some sixty to seventy years ago Dubai has been just slightly more<br />
Nthan a desert sprinkled countryside where Bedouin tribes strayed the sands and a huddle of<br />
settlers crowded around the banks of the creek. Just about a century ago, Dubai was said to<br />
have hardly had running water, real good roads and the main mode of transport was said to be<br />
through camels.<br />
But today, as we could see from our voyage, Dubai's ambition seems to know no bound, nor does it<br />
accommodate any mediocrity, with the Dubai Mall (the world's largest mall) and the colossal airport,<br />
which is the busiest in the whole of the Middle East; apparently, It has to be perfect to be Dubai.
