Living in a city which is home to over 120 nationalities has left me with a new understanding and greater respect for the many, yet intriguing, cultures and religious sects in this small world we share.
Some say Dubai has no identity, that it is a city without soul, heart or spirit. I disagree, to me, Dubai sparks a taste of things to come – a kind of time warp into the future where peoples of all different backgrounds are grouped together with a common goal: success! Dubai sets the trend of the Global Village that we will soon come to know.
I am never without a place to explore or thing to do in this city. Albeit ambling through the culture trail along the creek and sampling the flavours of the spice and perfume souks, to shopping up a storm at their modern and futuristic shopping malls.
Where else in the world can one join a convoy of 4X4s in the arid desert and take your pick between boarding down sand or snow covered hills?
Dubai is a fascinating and truly exciting city to live in, and I would recommend that anyone who has an inkling of adventure should make a turn here.
