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.
