Aside from the beautiful weather and gorgeous beaches, Dubai has an impressive infrastructure and a plethora of stunning buildings. The city is home to the world's largest malls, the highest tower on the planet and some of the most exclusive restaurants, hotels and nightspots around.
Dubai is regarded as one of the best cities in the United Arab Emirates. It is renowned for many different reasons, mainly for being one of the most luxurious cities, with ultra-modern buildings and architecture and, of course, the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world (828m!).
Dubai triumphed as the world's most picturesque after-dark metropolis in a study conducted by travel experts at holiday company Travelbag. As part of the research, experts analysed 146 of the world's most popular cities on the basis of Instagram hashtags, light pollution and safety levels.
Dubai is the country's most expensive city to live in. As a luxury tourism destination, Dubai offers high living standards: a single-person estimated monthly expenses are AED 3,700 or $1,000, excluding rent. A family of 4 would spend 3 times more — AED 13,000 or $3,540 monthly.
