As one of the
world’s top tourist destinations, Dubai offers something for everyone. Whether
it’s marvelling at the city’s futuristic architecture, exploring its artistic neighbourhoods,
or enjoying a gastronomic journey in its many eateries. Here’s a breakdown of
some of the numbers behind the city and its success:
Featuring more than 100 incredible indoor and outdoor
rides and attractions across four different parks, MOTIONGATE™ Dubai, Bollywood
Parks™ Dubai, LEGOLAND® Dubai and LEGOLAND® Water Park, Dubai Parks &
Resorts offers visitors the ultimate adrenaline-pumping experience.
Located in the industrial
area of Al Quoz, Alserkal Avenue is the region’s foremost arts and culture hub,
home to 30 creative spaces, 15 top contemporary galleries, a private museum and
a foundation. It was established in 2007 to encourage and support the region's
burgeoning contemporary art scene. Alserkal Avenue brings dynamism to Dubai’s
arts community- the galleries are diverse and represent emerging mid-career and
established artists. The neighborhood also accommodates exhibitions, talks,
panel
discussions, Young Collector’s Auctions and community-based
festivals that celebrate the arts, food and creativity.
Located in the
heart of Al Habtoor City, La Perle brings to life a breath-taking fusion of
artistic performance, creative imagery and ground-breaking technology. Directed
by one of the world’s most renowned artistic directors, Franco Dragone, the

29 – Percentage of UAE Government Ministers who are
Women
The UAE aims to be among the top 25 nations worldwide
excelling in the field of women's empowerment. Both the United Nations and the
World Economic Forum have recognized the country for its success in promoting
gender equality and the role of women in all spheres of life. The UAE has nine
women ministers, out of a total of 31. This means that that 29 per cent of its
ministers are female, making it one of the highest rates of ministerial
representation in the region. Women also make up 66 per cent of public sector
workers, with 30 per cent of them being in leadership roles.
Completed in
2011, Palm Jumeirah is home to some of Dubai's most iconic resorts, including
Atlantis The Palm, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, One&Only The Palm Resort and many
more. It is also packed with fantastic dining options worth visiting, such as
Nobu and Maiden Shanghai, that you can visit if you’re not staying at one of
the many resorts. Those looking for a more relaxed beachfront dining experience
should visit Club Vista Mare, which features seven restaurants over a 120-metre
stretch of sand. Palm Jumeirah is also a haven for fitness enthusiasts with a
running track that stretches for almost three kilometres along the length of
the trunk, and the Boardwalk Palm Jumeirah which is built over the rocks of the
Palm's breakwater and stretches along the coast for 11 kilometres – perfect for
cycling.
Currently
standing as the world’s longest urban zip line, extending a full kilometre from
a height of 170 metres to ground level, the XLine Dubai Marina features an
incline of 16 degrees and reaches an average top speed of 80 kilometres per
hour.
Popular amongst
both professional and novice riders alike, the Al Qudra cycling
path is a popular destination among Dubai’s adventure seekers. The track is 86
kilometres, consisting primarily of a 50-kilometre loop followed by a section
commonly known as “The Stick” which runs approximately 15-20 kilometres
straight along Al Qudra Road. Boasting of amazing views of Dubai’s desert
dunes, riders may also catch a glimpse of some local wildlife like the oryx or
horse riders along the path.
At over 828 metres high, Burj Khalifa is the tallest
building the world. It was opened in 2010 and contains apartments, offices, two
observation decks, a hotel and the world’s highest restaurant and bar.

1833 – The Year the Bani Yas Tribe Settled at Bur
Dubai
Considered to
contain the oldest parts of Dubai, Bur Dubai on the south side of Dubai Creek
is home to many historic sites, museums and old buildings. In 1833, 800 members
of the Bani Yas tribe (ancestors of the Al Maktoum royal family), led by His
Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Butti AlFalasi, declared independence from Abu
Dhabi and settled in Bur Dubai at the mouth of the creek. This migration
arguably marks the birth of modern Dubai.
Dubai’s diverse
mix of cultures has inspired a food scene that is as varied as its cosmopolitan
population; from glittering establishments serving the ultimate in haute
cuisine, to hidden gems that have been favourites amongst the locals for
decades and newly-founded street eats, there is something for every taste and
budget.
Just a short drive from Downtown Dubai, Dubai Safari
Park spans over 119 hectares. The park is divided into different sections –
Asian Village, African Village and Open Safari Village – and recreates the
different habitats suitable for its varied and unique wildlife, including 2,500
animals from over 250 different species from around the world.
Covering an area of more than 28 football fields, IMG
Worlds of Adventure is the largest indoor theme park in the world. The park is
split into five different theme zones, featuring 17 different rides that are
suitable for young and the young-at-heart!
