Venue: Dubai
Dubai is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back 

tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks 

hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era; a cosmopolitan society 

with an international lifestyle combining the comfort and convenience of 

the Western world with the unique charm and hospitality of Arabia.
 From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the 

souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. The emirate 

embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day, 

you can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe- 

inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty 

villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with 

wind towers to ultra-modern shopping malls. For more information
