Shoppers? paradise

Dubai is also a paradise for shoppers. Merchandise from different parts of the world arrive here and are sold to the discerning buyer not just in ones and twos, but also in container or even ship loads. Make sure your credit cards are fully loaded for the splurge. Within UAE, Dubai has the smallest holding of oil. Therefore, the emphasis is on making it a Mecca for trading as well as tourists. The Dubai Water Front project now under way from the Government, when completed will be one of World's largest self contained communities housing 70,000 people ? making even Manhattan trail behind.
