Dubai
Dubai is the modern capital of Arabia. Dubai is expanded along banks of the Dubai Creek. Both sites of the creek form central business districts, Deira on the northern side and Bur Dubai to the south connected by a tunnel and two bridges.
Outside this core, the city extends to the neighbouring emirate of Sharjah to the north, while extending south and west in a long ribbon of development alongside the Gulf, through the districts of Satwa, Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim.
At first glance, the city presents a predominantly modern face, an ever-changing skyline of new developments, from striking glass and concrete towers to gracious modern buildings incorporating traditional Arabian architectural motifs and features.
