United Arab Emirates

its a very fast country

This is were I was born and raised though I am not a citizen. However, as a place to visit, I would definitely recommend it. The place is growing faster than any place i know now.It is a place to relax and see human marvel in architecture and modern building. Dubai (as you might have heard of it) has indulged itself in fancy landmarks. It is the trading capital of the country and the transformation from a desert to its current standards is breathtaking. Fast paced city and living expenses are on a rise now, if you are planning to move there…but I would still go back eventually!!

Why I recommend this place to visitors is that it’s probably the most open GCC country. We have alcohol, discos and bars, pork, christian churches, women drivers (you can’t say the same for Saudi Arabia can you?)..

Not saying that tourists only visit places for those, but I wanna point out that the UAE rulers have made sure that we non-Muslims also get to enjoy their hospitality. Go desert driving and skiing in the same day. Visit beaches, go quad-biking, eat glorious Arabic food (Lebanese cuisine is the standard Arabic food though).

The UAE is a melting point of cultures – the country is resided in by the most diverse set of nationalities.

Visit UAE in the winter. Forget June to August tours, you’ll choke in the heat if you dare go out of your A/C rooms in summer!

Living in Dubai is great, weather is hot but everything else is fantastic..except the traffic..!!!???
Life is good here, economy is booming and multicultral enviroment is great!

There is so much to do, shopping-diving-indoor skie-parties-great restraunts etc. etc. etc.

Dubai is the place to be!

In the UAE I went to Dubai, now I’ve been here a few times before but I must say it just keeps growing and growing every time I go!!! Its a place I will continue to travel to as much as I can as there is much going on. From the hotels to the amusement parks being built this place will be the equivalent of Las Vegas in a few years.

Gold, rugs, night-clubs, ‘safari’ trips… Fun, but not that special. I did get to ride a camel.

Not my place

I lived there for two years in the Abu Dhabi Emirate. The people there were very friendly and always helpful. It’s just something you have to experience to understand.

If you’re there between October and February, I highly recommend the Global Village festival they have annually. It is a lot of fun to go to.

It’s scary how fast this place is growing! Look out New York!
