For the majority, the United Arab Emirates is associated with oriental luxury, European quality of service and moderate exoticism. The history of this country deserves all respect, because literally 20 years ago, on the site of the modern metropolis of Dubai, there was a small Middle Eastern city, unremarkable for tourists.
But the distribution of oil reserves, revenues from them, a well-coordinated economic policy and far-sighted investments have changed the UAE. It is a developing country of the world, and a modern tourist Mecca.
