In luxurious Dubai, you'll find the absolute best of the best: the tallest skyscraper on the planet, the longest automated metro, the world's only seven-star hotel, vast artificial archipelagos, the most extravagant cars, and vending machines that dispense souvenir gold bars. Dubai resembles the result of a vibrant imagination, an eastern tale of provocative opulence that you might not entirely believe, even when seeing it with your own eyes.
