Dubai
The most populous emirate of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is a booming place, said to be currently employing up to 20% of the world's construction cranes. Traditionally a center for oil production, of course, Dubai is also developing as a hub for service industries such as IT and finance. What attracts the visitor, first and foremost, is the stunning 21st century architecture: the Emirate Towers (12th and 24th tallest buildings in the world), the iconic Burj al-Arab hotel, located on its very own island in the Persian Gulf; Jebel Ali, the largest man-made harbour; and the Mall of Emirates, one of the largest malls in the world. In many ways, a visit to Dubai is like dropping in on the Jetsons. During your treasure hunt (by car or taxi) in Dubai, expect to visit an English pub, an Irish pub, a tennis stadium cafe, and an establishment that looks like an Egyptian pyramid.(Watch our 2-minute video preview to see what a typical Dr. Clue program looks and feels like!)
