Ruler of Dubai, Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum famously said: “We, in the UAE, have no such word as “impossible”; it does not
exist in our lexicon. Such a word is used by the lazy and the weak, who fear
challenges and progress. When one doubts his potential and capabilities as well
as his confidence, he will lose the compass that leads him to success and
excellence, thus failing to achieve his goal. I require you, youth, to insist
on number one.”
Well he
did achieve in turning Dubai, into one of the most famous commercial cities in
the world, and a major player in terms of
trade and tourism. As well as a leading conference and exhibition venue in the Middle East with its beautiful infrastructure, amazing night
life and appealing fashion centres (even though Kuwait
and Bahrain might challenge the title). Here are the rest of the pictures from my trip to Dubai:
