DUBAI WONDER

Dubai, a prominent Middle Eastern metropolis and desert oasis, has transformed from its modest beginnings in pearl diving, fishing, and trade into a global hub of innovation and extravagance. As the most populous of the seven emirates united in 1971, Dubai boasts iconic landmarks like the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Burj Al Arab, and Dubai International Airport. The city’s diverse neighborhoods include historic Deira, cultural Al Quoz, the financial hub DIFC, and coastal Jumeirah.

Dubai’s thriving art scene features attractions like Art Dubai and Alserkal Avenue, while Expo 2020 Dubai showcased its forward-thinking vision. This dynamic city exemplifies cultural diversity, architectural marvels, and a future-focused ethos, as celebrated in Dubai Wonder, part of Assouline’s Travel Series.
