Of all the 7 Emirates, Dubai is the one with the least oil. Aided and financed by its neighbours, it’s the halfway point between Europe and Asia, the city of Dubai has become an unrivalled oasis of tourism and pleasure.

The utopian dreams of financiers and developers have become reality thanks to the petrodollar. The best hotel in the world, the largest apartment block in the world, the largest shopping mall in the world…everything, it seems, in Dubai is the biggest, a way of stamping its reputation on the world by a territory that just 20 years ago was just a sand strewn town by the edge of the sea.
