Dubai – a desert country turns glamorous.
The emirate is on its way to transform itself from " the biggest building site in the world" into a unique metropolis. Exotic, gigantic and fascinating – the country in the desert has quickly developed into a magnet for tourists and a shopping paradise.
At the same time, Dubai today is an efficient hub for international business. The building industry is booming in the emirates and ever more spetacular projects are being realised – from skyscrapers of record heights, islands in the shape of palm trees and a new waterfront to the largest theme park in the world. This metamorfosis is present in extraordinary photographs. It is only on the Creek, the bay on the Persian Gulf where time stands still ocasionally. Here, visitors can still breathe the oriental Atmosphere.
2 Music Cds included – The musical borders of Orient and Occident are blurred when Arabic music with Western influences set you in the right mood for an adventurous journey to the Middle East. Worldmusic from Arabia is also unique and a special cultural pleasure.
