Overview
Dubai is a city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates known for luxury shopping,
ultramodern architecture and a lively nightlife scene. Burj Khalifa, an 830m-tall
tower, dominates the skyscraper-filled skyline. At its foot lies Dubai Fountain,
with jets and lights choreographed to music. On artificial islands just offshore is
Atlantis, The Palm, a resort with water and marine-animal parks.
