What is Dubai?

Dubai Emirates is the second largest emirate in UAE, covering an area of 3,885 square kilometers, accounting for 5% of the total area of UAE. By the end of 2003, the population reached 6.5438+0.204 million. It is the financial, economic and trade center of the United Arab Emirates and the commercial and tourism center of the whole Middle East, and is known as "Hong Kong" in the Middle East.

Dubai prides itself on its position as the trade center of the United Arab Emirates. Ben. Say? When Allermark Mark Toum Sheikh was the chief of Dubai, he decided to vigorously develop commercial trade activities, trying to make trade the second largest economic pillar after the oil industry, even surpassing the oil industry. Since then, Dubai's trade activities have flourished, and the entire commercial trade has also flourished. Dubai is also known as the "trade capital" because it concentrates about 70% of the UAE's non-oil trade. The local official language is Arabic, and English is also widely used. In addition, Hindi, Persian and Urdu are also very popular. Abu Dhabi is the largest emirate and capital of UAE. Sharjah, Akman, Umm Kham Bay, Rush Haima and Fujiwara are the other five federal Emirates.

The Burj Khalifa Hotel, designed by w.s.atkins Architectural Planning Office in Britain, was completed in 1999, with a height of 340 meters. It is the tallest building in the Middle East at present. The hotel adopts the architectural form of double-layer membrane structure, with light and elegant shape, strong membrane structure characteristics and modern style.

Dubai is the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. In the 1950s, it was a simple seaside town in the Arabian Gulf. After the 1990s, Dubai experienced a complete transformation. Rows of skyscrapers miraculously stand on the banks of the Hall River, making people feel like they are in new york.

Like other cities in the Middle East, Dubai is rich in oil. But for an ambitious new city, if you want to show your talents in the new century, oil is definitely not all. It opened the door and vigorously developed tourism. Due to its high-quality environment and rich culture (because 80% of the population are foreigners), most tourists to Dubai are high-income classes such as models, artists and businessmen. At the suggestion of the Crown Prince of Dubai, the famous entrepreneur Allermark Toum invested in the beautiful Burj Al Arab Hotel.

The luxury of the hotel is amazing. Critics don't know how many stars to give it: five, six or seven. Built on an artificial island by the sea, the hotel is a sailboat-shaped tower building with 56 floors and a height of 32 1 m, designed by British designer W.S.Atkins. It is far from Jumeirah Beach Hotel (considered as the best hotel in the world), with 202 duplex rooms, a 200-meter-high restaurant overlooking the whole city of Dubai and the highest atrium in the world.

Only after you have been here can you truly realize what "glory" means. Its atrium is golden, and so is the most luxurious 780-square-meter presidential suite. The room area ranges from 170 square meters to 780 square meters, with the lowest room price of $900 and the highest presidential suite of 18000. The presidential suite is on the 25th floor, with gold-plated furniture, a cinema, two rooms, two halls and one dining room, and a dedicated elevator. Versace, the late top fashion designer, once praised it.

Dubai is the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates, similar to Shanghai in China.

There are veiled women and men in white robes and hats, luxurious house walls, charming folk crafts and magnificent mosques. In the dancing figure of dates, there is an intoxicating exotic atmosphere everywhere. There is the world's longest cake 1.75 miles, the world's largest shopping bag, the world's eighth wonder-the world's largest artificial island, with a cost of $3 billion. At that time, the island designed in the shape of a big palm tree can also be seen from the moon.

Boci is the only seven-star hotel with the highest building height in the world (because the hotel facilities are too advanced and far exceed the five-star standard, it has to be called a seven-star hotel as an exception). Opened in 1999 and 65438+February, * * has 202 superior rooms and is built on the artificial island Jumeirah Beach Resort 280 meters away from the coastline. Boci combines the latest architectural and engineering technology, charming scenery and modeling, making it look as if it is integrated with the sky. The Boci project took five years, two and a half years to fill the artificial island in the Arabian Sea, two and a half years to use it in the building itself, using 9000 tons of steel, and driving 250 infrastructure piles 40 meters below the sea floor. Designed by British designer W.S. Atkins, the hotel looks like a sail full of wind. There are 56 floors, with a height of 32 1 m. It is the tallest hotel in the world, higher than the Eiffel Tower in France.

Porcelain is a symbol of Arab luxury and a new symbol of Dubai. Walking into the tallest hotel in the world is like walking into Aladdin's cave. The evidence of luxury is beyond words, from the small submarine that takes you into the seafood restaurant, to the 17 telephone booth in each room, to the eight Rolls Royce used as the airport bus. You can even ask a helicopter to pick you up. In the 15-minute flight, you can take the lead in taking a bird's eye view of the city of Dubai, enjoy the magnificent scenery, and then land on the helipad on the 28th floor.

There are restaurants on the sea and restaurants in the air. Guests only need to take the express elevator to reach the AI-Mahara restaurant, which stands 200 meters above the Arabian Gulf, in 33 seconds. Entering a restaurant with space design, with soft blue-green lighting and wave design as a foil, is like entering another world. This restaurant can accommodate 140 customers. At dinner time, the night sky is bright, and you can enjoy advanced Mediterranean cooking, which is the highest enjoyment of life. Only delicious Mediterranean food is served, which is a major feature of this restaurant.

Because Boci, a super luxury hotel, is so special, many foreign tourists just want to visit it (for most people, they can only feast their eyes on it), but please note that you have to pay a visit fee, which is 100Dhs on weekdays and 200 DHS on holidays (1DHS is about RMB 2.25), but it can be used as a restaurant.
