I’ve always been fond of Dubai, not that I ever been there but because I always heard great things about the country and I’ve seen TV news and reports about how beautiful it is all that.Nowadays people are looking more and more for distinguished places to travel and to visit and for those who have the money Dubai it’s it. Lots of wealth, lots of sea, sun, and sand, lots of entertainment and different activities and for that reason people are traveling more and more to Dubai. Imagine that they’ve even built a city with snow. Under those high temperatures that built a Mountain under some iron looking like a sky resort with all activities regarding snow.I Like Dubai and maybe one day I can afford visiting it.
