Dubai is extraordinary as an exercise in ambition. In under 50 years it has built the world's tallest building, some of the largest malls on the planet, and a tourism infrastructure that handles tens of millions of visitors annually, all in a desert. The Burj Khalifa is genuinely impressive in person. The old Dubai Creek and the gold and spice souks offer a glimpse of the city before the transformation. Desert safaris into the dunes at sunset are spectacular.
