Emirates Hotel Tower - Nearly all of the commercial establishments are run by expatriates with a silent local partner who merely "rents" the business license for a negotiated annual fee without taking part in any capital investment.
Dubai is unusual in that its population is comprised mainly of expatriates, with UAE nationals constituting the minority. The majority of these expatriates come from South Asia and South East Asia.

Burj Al Arab - With enormous construction and development in various industries, Dubai has attracted world-wide attention through innovative real estate projects, sports events, conferences and Guinness records.
Dubai is the most populous and second largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates after Abu Dhabi. Dubai is distinct from other members of the UAE in that revenues from oil account for only 6% of its gross domestic product.

I cannot say it is beautiful place. It is only in 1970's onwards the city has grown into one of the most important business centres of the world. It had wonderful business with Iran and the economy of Dubai depends on the percentage they get from imports and exports. They have not used their oil yet. The expatriates have built the city and it has become a business hub. Earlier they were very conservative and now they give the land for ownership. It has withstood all competition and thriving on business traffic.

Century Tower - The official language is Arabic but English, German, Hindi/Urdu, Malayalam, Tamil, Persian, and Tagalog are also widely spoken. Islam is the majority religion of the Emiratis and while a vast majority of the locals are Sunnis, there is a significant Shiite minority.
There is an increasing number of "freehold" villas and apartments on artificial islands such as the Palm Islands and in many parts of Dubai for example The Greens, Dubai Marina, International City, etc. Ownership is either permanent or on a 99 year lease depending on which area--freehold areas were announced in the press in July 2006.

Murjan and Mesk Tower - A post office of British India was opened August 19, 1909. It used the stamps of India on mail, with postmark "Dubai Persian Gulf", until India's independence in 1947, then stamps of Pakistan until March 31, 1948. When Pakistan came into existence, the British government set up a postal administration for Eastern Arabia and used overprinted British stamps until January 7, 1961, when Dubai issued its own stamps inscribed "Trucial States". Despite the name, these were only on sale in Dubai's post office.
Dubai is quickly aspiring to enrich its cultural scene with the $13.6 billion development of the Dubai Cultural Village. This development will include art museums and performing arts centers as well as libraries, schools for music and dance, rare book stores and open spaces for recreation. * Dubai has a growing number of stages including the Royal Hall at the Dubai Pearl, and the Dubai Community Theatre. The Madinat Theatre is also one of the most significant and luxurious theaters in the region, hosting many West-End productions.* The Dubai film festival is an annual film festival that attracts the stars from all over the world. Dubai is also developing the Dubai Studio City which aims to be a center for artistic production on the screen.* Dubai is currently building an island opera house which has been designed by Zaha Hadid.* An art museum and a general museum are currently being built.* The Dubai Chamber Orchestra was founded in 2002 and performs in the various existing and newly developed concert venues.
