Dubai is a thoroughly modern city, rising out of the desert to offer an over-the-top experience of luxury and fun. It's a city dedicated to the pleasures of the good life, with more celebrity enticement than Monte Carlo, and eye-popping grandeur that surpasses Las Vegas. This latest wonder of the world is an exotic seaside paradise, where Italian sports cars occupy all the best parking places at dozens of super-luxury hotels and gourmet restaurants. Everything in Dubai is an experience in style—including the distinctive man-made Palm Islands, where leisure and residences reach new levels of opulence, and where a trendy nightlife has been born. Dubai's incredible skyline, dotted with skyscrapers that push the limits of the imagination, is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath it lays a tapestry of incredible resorts, golf courses, marinas, shopping and recreation that is as unique as any place in the world. Would you expect anything less from a desert city that even offers a massive indoor ski slope? In addition to Dubai's modern splendor, the local Bedouin and coastal cultures are always within easy reach in preserved villages and the outlying desert. Whichever Dubai experiences you pursue, it'll surely make your eyes alight with wonder.
