Dubai Wonder Book

An international port city and desert oasis, Dubai is one of the most important metropolises in the Middle East. With humble beginnings in pearl diving, fishing and trade, Dubai has since eclipsed its historical origins. Dubai, the most populous of the seven emirates united by founder Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in 1971, is a treasure trove of the best, the biggest and the brightest, attracting architectural stars such as Zaha Hadid, Foster + Partners and Santiago Calatrava. . Dubai's skyline includes the world's tallest tower, Burj Khalifa; the giant Dubai Mall; the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel and Dubai International Airport: the ultimate extravagance.

Dubai Wonder takes readers on a tour of this historic city, its cultural diversity and its distinct neighborhoods, including Deira, home to Khor Dubai, a cove that Dubai's economy has depended on for several decades for pearl diving and fishing; Al Quoz, the cultural heart of the city; the international financial center of Dubai and Jumeirah, a largely residential district home to the emirate's most notable resorts along its coast.
