Dubai is known for its luxurious hotels offering a unique experience. Burj Al Arab, a symbol of luxury, provides suites with personal butlers and a helicopter pad. I visited it for dinner and was impressed by the level of service and interiors. Atlantis The Palm on the Palm Jumeirah offers a water park, underwater rooms, and various entertainments. For those looking for a stylish and modern hotel, Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa combines elegance and comfort. I stayed at Jumeirah Beach Hotel, where the private beach and views of Burj Al Arab made the stay unforgettable.

The ruling family of Dubai, the Al Maktoum, plays a key role in the history and development of the emirate. Since 1833, when Sheikh Maktoum bin Butti moved with the Bani Yas tribe to the Dubai Creek area, the family has ruled the city. Under the leadership of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Dubai began its transformation into a modern metropolis. The current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, continues the dynasty's traditions, promoting innovation, tolerance, and development. I visited the Union Museum, which details the creation of the UAE and the contribution of the ruling family to the country's establishment. Their vision and leadership have been the driving force behind Dubai's success.

Ain Dubai is the largest observation wheel in the world, located on Bluewaters Island. Standing at 250 meters tall, it towers over the city, offering breathtaking panoramic views. I bought a ticket for sunset to see the city transform into evening lights. The cabins are spacious, with panoramic windows and comfortable seating.
