Ciao!

We were thinking, and maybe some of you don't know a lot about Dubai, other than that the world’s biggest building is located there. That’s why we decided to write some “quick facts” about Dubai!

-Dubai is located in Asia, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on the Arabian Peninsula.

-Dubai is one of the 7 emirates in the UAE.

-Dubai has a population of over 1.3 million people, which continues to grow.

-About 80 % of the population in Dubai are foreigners or “expats.”

-The first 7-stars hotel was built in Dubai. It is called the Burj Al Arab. This is the building you may see on travel-programs or in brochures.

-The world’s tallest building stands in Dubai. The Burj Dubai climbs about 818 meters high up into the air! In fact, the opening of the Burj Dubai is tomorrow, 4 January, our lovely dad informed us! (We love you, Dad!)

-If you looovee shopping like we do, you just might want to visit Dubai. The world’s biggest mall is located there; Dubai Mall! Ahh, shopping, shopping, shopping :) Dubai Mall also has the biggest inside aquarium inside it and an ice-skating rink.

-You can ski in the desert. True or false? True!! Ski Dubai is an indoor ski-slope (located inside Mall of the Emirates- a shopping mall!) with different slopes for different levels, lifts, and a café. They also have a snow park. Its pretty cool because you can walk around in the mall wearing shorts and a t-shirt, then decide to go skiing for a couple of hourse since you get everything you need there! Well, believe it or not, that’s where we learned to ski. Haha!

You might or might not have noticed that Dubai usually goes for the biggest, best, and most beautiful, haha! :)

Well, there is SO much more to tell, except we wouldn’t be able to find the time to write everything down so, if there is anything special you would like to know about Dubai, UAE, or anything else, please comment it or send us a quick email at; [email protected]  Maybe about what us teenagers do, maybe about the shopping, the beach, school?

Take Care XOXOXOX
