00:00Dubai is luxury personified. Its 61 five-star hotels are second most on the planet, behind

00:14only London, more than even New York or Paris. An extravagant experience that begins prior

00:21to setting foot in the UAE. It takes flight the moment you board an Emirates A380.

00:28Emirates is the Rolls Royce of the airline industry. And we go beyond and above what's

00:34expectation. This city is amazing. They are coming from everywhere. There's generally a

00:39young population who wants to do something new, who wants to prove to themselves that they can

00:45grow, they can do something different. You build a hotel, you have to prove that you deserve seven

00:52stars. You build a tower, should be the highest one. It's hard to imagine anywhere else on the

00:56planet where there are as many cranes, there's as much growth, there's as many bright lights,

01:02there's just a real spirit of can-do, of innovation. I think that they're attracting

01:08capital from around the world. You see all the major brands there. It just seems like

01:13unlimited possibilities. The city not short on bragging rights. We sit atop the world's tallest

01:19building, Burj Khalifa, to ascend in the world's tallest elevator. It's right next to the world's

01:25largest outdoor choreographed fountain, just a few miles away from the world's largest

01:31indoor ski mountain, and the world's tallest Ferris wheel. Glancing up at its innovative futuristic

01:39skyline or looking down upon the stunning Palm Islands, Dubai's bold creative vision is all

01:47encompassing. So too is the ambition that goes into their D33 economic agenda. The plans to double

01:54the size of the economy by 2033. The city is luring talent from around the world as a financial

02:02services hub with zero income tax and tourists attracted to its audacious attitude. Perhaps

02:10nothing embodies the unique architecture and the luxurious lifestyle quite like the highest

02:16suspended infinity pool in the UAE. 27 floors up, shared by the one and only, and the Ciro Hotel

02:25with spectacular views of the cityscape. Not the poolside type, not the problem. Dubai offers

02:33endless activities including boating and jet skiing. Stay dry and hit the desert. Hop aboard a

02:41camel or an ATV. Hang on tight if you're game for four-wheel drive dune bashing and stay for the

02:49stunning sunset. All increasing your appetite for Dubai's dynamic eclectic dining scene that includes

02:57more restaurants per capita than even New York City. 90 percent of Dubai's population is made up of

03:06expats making its extraordinary dining scene that includes 19 Michelin star restaurants since 2022

03:14among the most diverse on the planet. Infinite Instagram opportunities await from the Future

03:21Museum, an iconic frame, to the dazzling Dancing Dubai Fountain. A spectacular free show seen by

03:31thousands nightly and conveniently located at one of the world's best and busiest shopping malls.

03:37There's truly no city like it. Why their slogan for 2025 is only in Dubai. You breathe something

03:47different from anywhere else. We want to be first, we want to be creative, we want to be inspiring.
