Kazi Sazedur Rahman :
Not only a realm of entertainment, but also a glimpse of lavishness with verities of segment including food, dance, riding, skiing and what not that is obviously Dubai, a city in the Middle East, an icon- a place which can hardly be compared with.
Planned-wise development with a city since 70s of the last century was so unique that a gulf of difference has been perceived between the past and present. How a desert can be transformed into a vast greenery landscape – unless riding a glimpse on Dubai, the claim can never be justified.
I was spell-bound when I saw Dubai, a modern marvel in the world. My eyes were first struck on Dubai International Airport. It was special was nothing but to have a special feature of it. Equipped with three terminals, Dubai International Airport is facilitated to serve 90 million passengers a year. The second terminal of it is the second biggest terminal in the world. The salient feature of this airport is that it is located in the heart of the city and all the major locations are within close proximity.
Once Immigration formalities were accomplished, I hired a taxi services for hotel. You should be astonished to hear that a wide range of cabs with world class brand like Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes Benz and so on.
Dubai is incredible and except a little, most of the visitors lost in the alleys of tallest buildings with plenty of sights and amusements. Barsati Club, Emirates Mall, Dubai Mall, Burz Al Arab, Sea beach, Gold Suck, Water Fountain, Marina Bay, Burz Al-Khalifa, Desert Safari are the most attractive places wherevisitors around the globe meet and spent their bucks there.
