Pearls of Switzerland - Dubai is the largest city of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with more than 9 millions of inhabitants. Abu Dhabi city is the capital of the UAE. I visited the country the first time in 1998. The city has grown constantly and has changed a lot. Since around 1833, Dubai has been a trading port. Today the economy relies on trade, tourism, aviation, real estate and growing financial services.
The Year of Tolerance -H. H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayeddeclared2019 as the Year of Tolerance. The announcementaims to highlight the UAE as a global capital for tolerance and its approach, since its establishment, to be a bridge of communication between peoples of different cultures in a respectful environment that rejects extremism and emphasises on the acceptance of the other.

Port Saeed is a small port along Deira's shore of Dubai Creek. Port Saeed holds some of the dhow cruises and small shipping boats in Dubai.

We recommend the Lebanese Restaurant Babel for seafood and mezze at La Mer by Meraas on
the beachside area in Jumeirah 1. Beside the one in Dubai they have three branches in as well as one in The Restaurant is laid out over two levels and it has a spacious terrace. Great ambience, yummy food and very friendly staff. They have a large seafood bar and also an indoor dining area. We were on the balcony seating upstairs and had some mezze dishes such as shrimps Beiruty and cheese rolls. We also were served complimentary fruits and sweets!
