Dubai is a city of superlatives. A few years ago it was a pearl fishing village out in the desert although on a trading route. From early days it was duty and tax free. Now it boasts 'two thirds of the construction cranes in the world' (no sure if I believe that.

It has the only 7* hotal in the world Al Burj. Quite a contrast to Kabul anyway
