Finish the Sentence: Dubai

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Dubai

This is no boom town. It’s a supernova metropolis! Although Dubai technically falls in the United Arab Emirates, it is a universe unto itself, with hundreds of skyrises (including the world’s tallest building) taking off in the intense desert heat. These are the people I met in my short, five days on my first round the world trip, and in a short five days returning to film an episode of Word Travels.
