If we wanted to describe the United Arab Emirates in a few adjectives, words such as luxury, glamor and gold would definitely be spoken. And for good reason, because in addition to the desert to the horizon it is a country with amazing top-class architecture, with modern cities and rich sheikhs. Despite this - the UAE is a country where nothing is impossible to achieve, and dreams become reality.
What is worth seeing?
Of course, we put amazing in the foreground . Once a tiny fishing village - now one of the largest metropolises in the world. This is where the tallest building in the world is located - Burj Khalifa . The observation deck is located on the 124 and 125 floors of the skyscraper, from where we can see a beautiful panorama of the entire area and the bay. The total height of the building is 828 meters, and all floors are up to 168. An interesting place are also the fountains at the Dubai Mall, located at the foot of Burj Khalifa.
Dubai is a big, expensive city where everything has been built from the beginning. The great desert has been turned into a metropolis, where we will find many architecturally interesting objects. Another noteworthy building after the world's tallest building will be the famous Burj Al Arab , the famous Dubai 'sail'. In the price of accommodation? A minimum 150 m2 apartment, transport by helicopter from the airport or a private chef. The hotel has 5 stars, although for this object it may be just too small and unfair rating.
In addition to Dubai, a must-see place is the capital of the United Arab Emirates, i.e. the Sheikh Zeid Mosque. The monumental building made of white marble from Greece and Macedonia is comparable to the famous Indian Taj Mahal. The building can accommodate up to 50,000 people - 40 thousand outside and 10,000 inside. In the middle there is, among others the largest hand-woven carpet in the world or weighing about 12 tons - covered with a 40 kg 24-carat gold chandelier.
