What observation deck offer the best view of the city?

Dubai is abundant with places that offer stunning views. Of course, the top spot goes to "At The Top" in Burj Khalifa. Ascending to the 124th and 125th floors, I found myself at an altitude of over 450 meters. However, for the ultimate experience, it's worth choosing "At The Top SKY" on the 148th floor — the highest observation deck in the world. Another excellent option is The View at The Palm, located on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower. From here, you can see the entire Palm Jumeirah in all its glory. I also visited Dubai Frame, where from a height of 150 meters, you can see both the old and new city laid out before you. Each viewpoint offers its own unique perspective and atmosphere.

What souvenirs can I bring from Dubai?

The selection of souvenirs in Dubai is so great that the eyes run away. In the Gold Market you will find exquisite jewelry at attractive prices. I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail of the work of local jewelers. Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars. Camel leather products, carpets, ceramics and traditional clothing such as abaya and kandura are also popular.

What is the role of oil in Dubai's economy?

Interestingly, despite popular belief, oil only accounts for a small portion of Dubai's economy - around 1%. The main industries are trade, real estate, tourism, and financial services. In the 1960s, the discovery of oilfields spurred the development of infrastructure, but Dubai's rulers wisely invested in diversifying the economy. Today, the city is a major transportation hub, with one of the busiest airports in the world and the largest port in the region. I was impressed by how rapidly Dubai transformed from a small trading port into a global city.
