DUBAI WAS AND REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST QUICKLY GROWING CITIES OF THE WORLD.

BTW, A VIEW OF THE SPARKING OAK FROM THE SPACE IS COMPLETELY WELL TO SERVE THE TITLE OF THE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD OF OUTDOOR ADVERTISING. GOOD AND SUCH A POSSIBLE!Meanwhile, the emirate today, after some lull, again headed for dynamic development, in the center of which there were bright, attractive and, importantly, grandiose projects, thanks to which the tourist flow, you can be sure, will grow significantly over the coming years (in 2012, Dubai visited by more than 9 million tourists).
One of the main inspirers of these mega-projects was His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and a national leader who set many records for his life.
