Some of you reading this may recall that the Paige's journeyed to Dubai (along with a three-day trip to Oman per the suggestion of close friends) back in January and February. Although the whole family isn't going this time, Mike is getting a chance to head back to Dubai and Abu Dhabi for the first two weeks in May. The purpose of this trip will be to enhance the progress of unilateral business and leisure travel between the UAE, Southern California, and Aspen (Le Reve Diamond Destinations). Mike is looking forward to meeting with key business associates, attending the Arabian Travel event, and also just enjoy the beauty and culture that the UAE affords!For most Americans, Dubai seems a world away, so we thought we would include some key facts about Dubai that may give you a better picture of what it is like there.

- Did You Know?.........There aren't any street addresses in Dubai. It's True!!
Orientation: Dubai is 1,510 square miles and is made up of two towns separated by Dubai Creek. To the north is Deira and to the south, Bur Dubai....(In fact, Dubai government authorities have a current architectural plan in place to connect the two sites of Dubai Creek. Their vision for Dubai’s new monster bridge will be known for its form and symbolism because it ”further advances the infrastructure and transportation initiatives in Dubai.” The form symbolises the surrounding dunes of the desert and the curvy Dubai Creek current. Connecting both sides the bridge measures 1,7km in length and 205m in height. Once completed it will be the tallest and longest arch bridge in the world.)
Hope this information gives a few interesting facts about the area that you didn't know before. Mike is looking forward to returning in May and to continuing the process of building connections between the UAE, Southern California, and Aspen.
Dubai is a unique destination that is both a dynamic business,center and a tourist paradise, offering more attractions, shopping, fine dining and quality hotels. Dubai is really a place for tourists and for career seekers.
