Personal information: Feedback from many acquaintances about Dubai was either overwhelmingly positive or deeply negative. So I had to see for myself and stopped in Dubai for a few days in 2019 on my way to Bangkok. The Burj Khalifa (the view from the top is incredible!), the U-shaped building, and many other architectural highlights are truly impressive. The sun seems to shine here almost 365 days a year, except when I arrive, as it was raining after my visit. I enjoyed Dubai, but I wouldn't want to live there. However, I would gladly return for another visit. In 2025 and 2026, we had a stopover in the capital, Abu Dhabi, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to explore the city... |
