A Brief Introduction of Dubai
Dubai is one of the seven emirates/eˈmiərits / of the United Arab Emirates.It is located on the south of the Persian Gulf and has the largest population with the second-largest land territory of all the emirates.
Dubai was formally established in the early 19th century, and the modern emirate of Dubai was created after the UK left the area in 1971.
Today, Dubai has emerged as a global city and a business hub. At first Dubai's economy was built on the oil industry, but now its revenues from oil and natural gas currently account for less than 6% of the emirate's GDP because real estate construction , trade and tourism in Dubai have mushroomed and become the largest contributors to Dubai's economy due to its flexible free trading price and reasonable tax system,which is very different from other United Arab Emirates countries. Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects such as Burj Khalifa Tower and The Burj Al Arab. Burj Khalifa Tower, also known as Burj Dubai, is currently the tallest building in the world, at eight hundred and twenty eight meters,one hundred and sixty floors,which cost more than 2 billion dollars. And next come to the most luxury hotel in the world——The Burj Al Arab,at 321 meters,56 floors,which is the first “ 7-Star Hotel ”and second tallest hotel in the world.It is said that 40 tons of gold was used to decorated it.Even the taps are made of gold. In this hotel,the smallest room is one hundred and seventy square meters,and the royal suite is up to seven hundred and eighty square meters.If you check in the royal suite,you can enjoy the scenery of arabianəˈreɪbi:ən sea through the French windows all around the room.And there are two dining-halls in the hotel.One is in the sky and the other is under the sea.And what surprise me most is that you need to take submarine to the undersea dining-hall,where you can enjoy your meal with all kinds of fishes around.By the
