Dubai (in Arabic: دبيّ, Dubayy) is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates and is known for being the emirate with the most tourist visitors.
Description
Dubai's economy relies on many sections of the "state", one of the most important being tourism. To maintain their outrageous and important position in the tourist industry they have been known to create bigger and more bizaare tourist attractions.
Hotels
Since many of the people in Dubai are tourists and not permanent residents, there are plenty of intriguing hotels built to house these temporary residents. Some of these have become iconic symbols of the emirate, such as the Burj Al Arab. The Burj Al Arab standing at 321 m (1,050 ft), is the second tallest building in the world used exclusively as a hotel. It has become a symbol of Dubai designed architecturally to caricature the sail of a boat. It is built on a man-made island and is connected to the mainland by a bridge. The hotel's many breathtaking restaurants and expensive suites make it suitable of its label, "The worlds only seven star property".
