Dubai

Winter's round the corner. It is surely boring to just sit at home doing nothing. So why don't you go somewhere?

Dubai is a state in one of the smallest countries of the world. Yet, it is world famous. It is currently building the to-be tallest building/tower of the world. It is the Burj Dubai. (Burj=tower in Arabic) It is under construction and has finished more than 110 stories. So this one of the tourist attractions that cannot be ignored.

Another attraction is the Burj Al Arab that is the world's first 7* hotel and also the world's first hotel to be built on the sea. If you are ready to fish out some money, you can reach the hotel by helicopter. But obviously it's not a hotel which "everyone" can afford. So there goes tourist attraction number 2

If you are looking for some really awesome place to see then you have to hire a helicopter because Dubai is building residential islands in different shapes example:

The World

Palm Jumeirah

In The World Residential islands, it sure would be fun to live in the area that represents your nation. That's not all. There is an underground railway (metro) being constructed and the most interesting part about it is that it is without a driver! There is a fact that more than 25% of the world's building cranes are in Dubai! So you can imagine at what rate the buildings are growing. In a large shopping mall called the Mall Of The Emirates (since Dubai is situated in the country United Arab Emirates) there is a place where you can ski.

There is a fully planned service. A snow covered slope to slide down, a cable car service to take you up, for children there are sledges to play with and ice sculptures, an ice slide and they also provide you with the required dress. Now you must be thinking that you see snow every year then why I am mentioning this. It is because the tropic of cancer passes through the United Arab Emirates and it never snows there. Even rainfall comes only between December and February.

There are more things you will get to know when you visit Dubai. So don't miss the chance to visit such a wonderful place and pack your bags quick.
