Dubai (part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE) is the quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping. A century ago, it was a tranquil town whose coral-and-gypsum huts housed Bedouin traders and pearl divers.
Today the merchants have gone international and science-fiction skyscrapers stand alongside the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai. Don your Gucci sunglasses - Dubai is rich, lavish and abfab.
