Over the past 50 years, Dubai has gone from being a small trading outpost to one of the world’s wealthiest and most modern cities. Since then, it has succeeded in satisfying its penchant for superlatives. It is home to a long list of record-shattering attractions, including the world’s tallest building, tallest hotel, tallest residential building, largest mall and largest indoor ski slope. Book a flight to Dubai with Qatar Airways, and discover the epitome of modernity in the Arab world.
Despite its accomplishments, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) second largest city is showing no signs of letting up. On your trip to Dubai, you’ll find that the city is still engaged in several ambitious construction and expansion programmes.
Dubai is a place where you can experience the pinnacles of luxury accommodation and five-star dining, but also more down-to-earth traditions and leisure activities.
Travelling through Dubai International Airport (DXB) is also a great way to reach Sharjah with ease. Sharjah is only 30 minutes’ drive from Dubai, and accessible by bus connection from the airport’s Terminal 1 & 3 stations.
