The emirate is a unique constructed superlative. Dubai realizes, what is just only been discussed in other locations: the fastest, largest and in the meantime also most lasting architecture with the best contemporary architects. Join us visiting this most fascinating architectural metropole at the Persian Gulf.

Dubai is the biggest building site of the world. The current construction projects of the city add up to a sum of 100 billion euro. Beeing one of the fastest growing cities in the world, Dubai competes with Hong Kong, New York and Shanghai. In this context, for example Dubai Palm Island was created in order to extend the beach aerea, or Dubai Marina, with over 100 high rises (hotel and office towers), a complete new town. Besides these futuristic projects, you will also get to know to the other, the historic, the old Dubai on this trip. On numerous markets and under the glittering stars of the desert sky you can still feel the original magic of 1001 nights.
