I was talking with a friend of mine about Dubai. She does not want to go there and I do not understand that. She said she doesn’t like to visit places with modern architecture. What do I think? I think that we should take the opportunity to visit Abu Dhabi, Doha, Shanghai, Singapore and yes, the most amazing Dubai. Because we are contemporaneous with such amazing times of engineering and architecture we should go seing – and the only thing different than the gorgeous old places is that the Dubai ones are very new. Of course it is different visiting such a place, I include here also Las Vegas, then going in Italy and France and in even old China, but it is like visiting Venice in the 12th century when it was an effervescent place, a rising city, a modern place like no other in the World. It is an amazing feeling and we should take part at making history, at making dreams come reality. It is a place of steel and glass, and rising islands, and gold, and heights beyond imaginations. If you do not want to see only the modern part you can go and visit Al Fahidi Fort, built in 1799, is the oldest existing building in Dubai and now part of the Dubai Museum. The sandy desert surrounding the city is the perfect place to take a ride with a car, a desert safari. As of 2010, Dubai was the 8th most visited city of the world. Dubai is expected to accommodate over 15 million tourists by 2015. I want to go there :D
Later edit: Dubai is one of the major places to migration birds. There are around 400 species of birds, making it a bird-watching paradise. Some are very rare. Some are very spectacular and I am thinking about the thousands pink flamingo which winter at the protected Khor Dubai Wildlife Sanctuary, just a few minutes of the centre of town. Another unlikely but important location is the Emirates Golf Club, where you can find Red-wattled lapwings, Pacific Golden Plovers, Pintail Snipe, Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse and Isabelline shrikes; however special permissions are required to visit both of these locations.
