the Story
Once a modest port city rooted in the traditions of pearl diving, fishing, and trade, Dubai has evolved into a global metropolis renowned for its innovation, ambition, and luxury. As the most populous of the seven emirates established by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan in 1971, Dubai is now a playground of architectural marvels like the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and the iconic Burj Al Arab. The city boasts the largest mall in the world and a constantly expanding skyline, making it a destination for tourists and visionaries alike.
Dubai Wonder takes readers on a vivid tour through the diverse and distinct neighborhoods of this vibrant city, from the historic Khor Dubai in Deira to the cultural heart in Al Quoz. This stunning volume also highlights Dubai’s burgeoning art scene with features on the Art Dubai fair and Alserkal Avenue, and explores the architectural grandeur of the highly anticipated Expo 2020 Dubai. The book captures the energy, diversity, and future-forward vision that Dubai represents, encapsulating a city where tradition meets modernity and where anything is possible.
