Dubai Prestige

Dubai, the emirate city in the United Arab Emirates, is known for luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture, and a lively nightlife scene.  You can spend your mornings sprawled out along Jumeirah Beach and your afternoons shredding powder at Ski Dubai. Or you can start your day haggling at the traditional Gold and Spice Souks before exercising your credit card at the contemporary Dubai Mall. But first things first: Get to know the city. Head straight to the top of the Burj Khalifa (the world's tallest building), where you'll find incredible views stretching into the Persian Gulf. And if you're interested in a more traditional perspective, take an abra (water taxi) ride along Dubai Creek.
