Dubai, wealthy, sand-dune landscaped and sensational; everything about this Emir Nation is glamorous and sophisticated with world class brands dotting every street and shopping mall, beckoning passersby through shiny windows and enticing you with the latest trends and gadgets. It is a modern metropolis, spread out beautifully against the undulating sandy landscape of the Middle East, with sand dunes and immaculate buildings and houses filling the vista.
Luxury is synonymous with Dubai, with the presence of a myriad of shopping malls all spread out over thousands of square feet, home to lavish boutiques and such internationally prestigious brands as Cartier, Versace and Armani. The city offers you the best of the best in extravagance and it is of no surprise that it is home to one of the most glamorous events of the Middle East; the Dubai International Jewellery Week.
