Dubai is located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf.

It is certainly the most popular tourist destination in the Middle East. The main characteristic of this city is its modernity; all its buildings have been built in the last 20 years. The architecture is contemporary and skyscraper oriented. You will surely enjoy visiting it. As an appetizer, here are some beautiful pictures of Dubai.
