Dubai

    Realizado por Sandra y Sergio
 Dubai is a city-state in the United Arab
  Emirates, located within the emirate of the
  same name. The emirate of Dubai is
  located southeast of the Persian Gulf on
  the Arabian Peninsula and is one of the
  seven emirates that make up the country.
  It has the largest population in the UAE
  and the second-largest land territory by
  area after Abu Dhabi
 Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the national capital, are
  the only two emirates to have veto power over
  critical matters of national importance in the
  country's legislature. The city of Dubai is located
  on the emirate's northern coastline and heads
  up the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area.
  Dubai is nowadays often misperceived as a
  country or city-state and, in some cases, the
  UAE as a whole has been described as 'Dubai'
 The earliest mention of Dubai is in 1095 AD, and
  the earliest recorded settlement in the region
  dates from 1799. The Sheikhdom of Dubai was
  formally established in 1833 by Sheikh Maktoum
  bin Butti Al-Maktoum when he persuaded
  around 800 members of his tribe of the Beni
  Yas, living in what is then the Second Saudi
  State and now part of Saudi Arabia, to follow him
  to the Dubai Creek by the Abu Falasa clan of the
  Beni Yas.
 Today, Dubai has emerged as a cosmopolitan
  metropolis that has grown steadily to become a
  global city and a business and cultural hub of
  the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region.[8]
  Although Dubai's economy was historically built
  on the oil industry, the emirate's Western-style
  model of business drives its economy with the
  main revenues now coming from tourism, real
  estate, and financial services.
Burj al Arab
  The Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs) has
   been called a 7 star luxury hotel. It is located in
   Dubai, United Arab Emirates and managed by
   the Jumeirah Group and built by Said Khalil. Its
   construction started in 1994 and ended in
   1999. It was designed by Tom Wright of WS
   Atkins PLC. The hotel cost $650,000,000 to
   build. At 321 metres and 60 floors, it was the
   tallest building used exclusively as a hotel until
   being succeeded by Rose Rayhaan by Rotana
   in 23 December 2009, again in Dubai.
 The Burj Al Arab stands
  on an artificial island 280
  metres out from Jumeirah
  beach, and is connected
  to the mainland by a
  private curving bridge. It
  is an iconic structure,
  designed to symbolize
  Dubai's urban
  transformation and to
  mimic the sail of a boat.
 Burj Al Arab characterizes itself as the
  world's only "7-star" property, a
  designation considered by travel
  professionals to be hyperbole. All major
  travel guides and hotel rating systems
  have a 5-star maximum, which some
  hotels attempt to out-do by ascribing
  themselves "6-star" status. Yet according
  to the Burj Al Arab's official site, the hotel
  is a "5-star deluxe hotel".
Culture
           The UAE culture mainly
            revolves around the religion
            of Islam and traditional Arab
            and Bedouin culture. In
            contrast, the city of Dubai is a
            highly cosmopolitan society
            with a diverse and vibrant
            culture. The influence of
            Islamic and Arab culture on
            its architecture, music, attire,
            cuisine and lifestyle are very
            prominent as well.
 Five times every day, Muslims are called
  to prayer from the minarets of mosques
  which are scattered around the country.
  Since 2006, the weekend has been
  Friday-Saturday, as a compromise
  between Friday's holiness to Muslims
  and the Western weekend of Saturday-
  Sunday.
Dress and etiquette
  The Islamic dress code is not compulsory.
   Most Emirati males prefer to wear a kandura,
   an ankle-length white shirt woven from wool or
   cotton, and most Emirati women wear an
   abaya, a black over-garment covering most
   parts of the body. On an average a UAE male
   national would have up to 50 kanduras as they
   keep changing their clothing to ensure the
   dress being kept clean.
Entertainment


  The United Arab Emirates is a part of the khaliji
   tradition, and is also known for Bedouin folk music.
   During celebrations singing and dancing also take
   place and many of the traditional songs and
   dances have survived to the present time. Yowalah
   is the traditional dance of the UAE. Young girls
   would dance by swinging their long black hair and
   swaying their bodies in time to the strong beat of
   the music. Men would re-enact battles fought or
   successful hunting expeditions, often symbolically
   using sticks, swords or rifles.

           expeditions, often symbolically using sticks,
           swords or rifles.
Etymology
 In the 1820s, Dubai was referred to as Al Wasl by British
  historians. Few records pertaining to the cultural history
  of the UAE or its constituent emirates exist and because
  of the region's oral traditions, folklore and myth were not
  written down. According to Fedel Handhal, a researcher
  in the history and culture of the UAE, the word Dubai
  may have come from the word Daba (a derivative of
  Yadub, which means to creep); referring to the slow flow
  of Dubai Creek inland. The poet and scholar Ahmad
  Mohammad Obaid traces it to the same word, but to its
  alternative of locust.
Economy
 Dubai's gross domestic product as of 2008 was US
  $82.11 billion. Although Dubai's economy was built on
  the back of the oil industry, revenues from oil and
  natural gas currently account for less than 7% of the
  emirate's revenues. It is estimated that Dubai produces
  50,000 to 70,000 barrels (11,000 m3) of oil a day and
  substantial quantities of gas from offshore fields. The
  emirate's share in UAE's gas revenues is about 2%.
  Dubai's oil reserves have diminished significantly and
  are expected to be exhausted in 20 years.[85] Real
  estate and construction (22.6%), trade (16%), entrepôt
  (15%) and financial services (11%) are the largest
  contributors to Dubai's economy.
 Dubai's top exporting
  destinations include India (US$
  5.8 billion), Switzerland (US$
  2.37 billion) and Saudi Arabia
  (US$ 0.57 billion). Dubai's top
  re-exporting destinations
  include India (US$ 6.53
  billion), Iran (US$ 5.8 billion)
  and Iraq (US$ 2.8 billion). The
  emirate's top import sources
  are India (US$ 12.55 billion),
  China (US$ 11.52 billion) and
  the United States (US$ 7.57
  billion). As of 2009 India was
  Dubai's largest trade partner
