Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai is the quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping. The merchants have gone international and science-fiction skyscrapers stand alongside the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai. The audacity of the city's rulers is breathtaking. Running out of coastline to build hotels? Build vast artificial islands with 120 km (74.5mi) of new beachfront. Need better connections with the world? Build up an award-winning international airline in 15 years. The best of everything you could possibly imagine will boggle your eyes.
