Experience in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, by Sepehr

What is it like to live in Dubai? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

The only city I can call home. Dubai is like something from future. Arabic culture mixed with western technology, gives it a vibe unlike anywhere else. Words cannot describe the city, from Burj-al arab, to the man-made palm Jumeirah, the tallest building and shopping mall in the world, to the more traditional Bastakya. It is truly a marvel and a magnificent city.
