Amira's Dad is going to Dubai for business this weekend. We focused on the unique look and layout of Dubai today. Dubai is a city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates known for luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture and a lively nightlife scene. Burj Khalifa, an 830m-tall tower, dominates the skyscraper-filled skyline. At its foot lies Dubai Fountain, with jets and lights choreographed to music. On artificial islands just offshore is Atlantis, The Palm, a resort with water and marine-animal parks. We also looked at aerial photos of Dubai's man-made chain of islands, Palm Islands. They form the shape of a palm tree as seen from the air.
