DUBAI: THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE WORLD PART 2 OF 4

A city in the UAE on the Persian Gulf, Dubai is constructed on the basis of some principles such as free of charge trade & foreign savings. In order to distinguish it from the emirate it is sometimes referred to as “Dubai City”. The world's fastest growing city, Dubai is located at the crossroads between Europe, Africa and Asia.

After Abu Dhabi, Dubai city is known as the second largest emirate by area and also has the largest population. People have been trading in Middle Eastern markets for hundreds of years. The city ensures year-round sunny days as it is located in an arid subtropical climate zone and rainfall is very low.

In 1901, Sheikh Maktoum bin Hasher Al Maktoum declared Dubai as a free port after abolishing all tariffs. Dubai today is flashy, fun and slightly surreal. Starting from the month of November to April is considered as the best time to visit Dubai as weather is coolest during this time of the year.

For the remaining part of the year it’s very difficult to explore the city fully because of unsuitable climatic conditions. Do pack a pair of sunglasses and a hat and sun block no matter what time of year you are visiting.
