Dubai has many names that provide it with a perfect reputation such as
“The Hong Kong of the Middle East” because it operates business activities, “Venice of the Middle East” because it lies on the creek,
but Dubai is many things and it is totally unique.
The visitors who arrive in Dubai to spend a certain period of time expecting deserts, bad climate, and naked lands are wonderfully surprised with its cleanliness, modern conveniences, infrastructure and buildings, generous green gardens, beautiful beaches and availability of all services, businesses, events, and entertainment. They are surprised to see a desert transformed to all what a person wishes to have.
Dubai is the second largest Emirate in the United Arab Emirates with a population around half a million people. It is obvious how most countries in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait…are growing rapidly economically, socially, politically. One of these countries too is Dubai. Dubai is one of the most desirable countries to live in because it provides many opportunities and reasons that a business man, investor, and visitor need and want. So, Dubai is:
* The fastest growing city in the world because it relies on its own development and not on exports
* Build by one third of cranes in the world what makes it unique
* One of the safest countries to live in, which many may find hard to believe from what they have heard about the Middle East because it is not biased to certain parties or religions and it doesn’t have political problems
* Located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, so it is near every country in the world and it is easy to reach
* Became very fast one of the basic countries for vacations and tourist destinations of the region due to its developed social, academic, economic, technological, real estate systems
* Accepting 1.08 million to 5.4 million visitors representing a growth rate of 16% per year which is an obvious sign for development
* This rate of 16% is 3 times the world tourism growth rate for the same time period making Dubai a strong competitor to touristic countries
* Dubai is real because the past 5 years alone have supplied a 54% growth rate so this makes economy well developed and improved
* Estimated that it will take 6-10 years for the supply of hotels to catch up with demand. when this occurs, Dubai will have a wide flow of profits in all its sectors leading to more and more improvements and richness
* There is currently an estimated $80 billion in real estate projects on their way to start in Dubai.
Of course Dubai is a country that joins East and West with modern facilities and infrastructure integrated with traditional developed values and a great taste of Eastern hospitality. One should mention that Dubai has:
* A very huge man made port that accepts a wide range of imports, exports and different kinds of operations, it is always the biggest port in the world.
* The only 7 star hotels in the world even though all around the world there are extraordinary hotels, but Dubai is a very aggressive competitor.
* The largest theme parks in the world (nearly 3 times the size of Disney World in Orlando)
* The biggest airport in the world
* The largest skyscraper in the world
* The largest mall in the world and this is a competitive advantage due to high demand on malls these days.
