You’re going to love Dubai
Dubai is a city of superlatives: the tallest building in the world, artificial islands shaped like a palm tree, the world’s biggest shopping malls and a skyline that changes every year. Yet it also has golden beaches, the old souks of the creek and the Arabian Gulf with its warm water, all within a few minutes of each other.
And the best way to see that skyline is from the sea. From Dubai Marina, a yacht takes you past the towers of the Marina and JBR, along the Palm Jumeirah and towards the Burj Al Arab, with the city lit up at sunset. It is one of the most spectacular urban views in the world.
