Dubai is one of seven emirates which make up the United Arab Emirates.

It is a city of contrasts, where outstanding modern architecture and soaring skyscrapers stand alongside traditional Arabic buildings and suburban villas. Its many and varied attractions provide visitors with a unique experience. The timeless majesty of the desert contrasts with a spectacular nightlife of restaurants and nightclubs. Arabic is the national language, but English, Urdu, Hindi and Farsi are widely spoken.
