Around fifty years ago, Dubai was only a small port town that hardly made a mark on the global front. Currently, apart from being one of the biggest shopping destinations in the world, Dubai is also popular when it comes to family entertainment. There is a rich selection of activities such as thrilling theme parks, water parks, luxury restaurants, desert safaris and more.
Apart from amazing entertainment destinations, Dubai is also known to be a hub for real estate investment. There are numerous new projects to invest in, such as the Dubai Creek Harbour and Bluewater residences that are expected to be completed soon.
