두바이
공식 파트너소박한 마을에서 국제적인 도시로
두바이는 소박한 어촌 마을에서 오늘날 세계에서 가장 국제적이고 혁신적인 도시 중 하나로 변모했습니다. 기원전 3000년으로 기원이 거슬러 올라가는 두바이는 1960년대 후반 석유가 발견되기 전까지 주민들은 어업, 진주 채취, 선박 건조, 해상 교역으로 생계를 꾸렸습니다. 1971년, 두바이는 이웃 부족들과 아랍 에미리트 연합국을 결성하여 이 지역의 번영을 수호하고 있습니다.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country located in the Arabian Peninsula facing out into the Persian Gulf. Cities in the UAE have certainly come a long way from the humble fishing villages they once were. After the discovery of petrol under the hot sandy soil during the mid-20th century, the city of Dubai decided to team up with six other neighbouring emirates to secure the region’s prosperity. Today, the UAE boasts luxurious metropolises such as Sharjah and Dubai, as well as its dazzling capital, Abu Dhabi. Make your way along the capital’s seafront Corniche as you saunter towards the Emirates Palace, a truly mesmerising gem of a building that dominates the Abu Dhabi coastline. Further up the coast is Dubai, a blend of beach, city and desert. Down by the water there are a number of adrenaline-packed activities to partake in, such as jet-skiing or flyboarding at JBR beach. Out in the desert you can go sandboarding, quad biking and even rent out a hot air balloon for a special occasion. The nearby city of Sharjah is so close to Dubai that the two are adjacent. Although Sharjah is Dubai’s often overlooked neighbour, it truly has very much to offer. Admire the Al Noor Mosque in all its splendour by the shimmering waters of the Persian Gulf or head to the Al-Qasba area and go for a ride on the Eye of the Emirates Wheel.
