29 shameless photos of Dubai that will amaze you

Dubai is world-famous for its stunning architecture and futuristic technology. Here, the motto is: Higher, faster, further! The Burj Khalifa shines like a shining star among the skyscrapers: It is one of the tallest buildings in the world and broke several records in January 2010.

This $2 billion masterpiece was created to put Dubai in the international spotlight and secure its place on the world map. The tower's Y-shape is not only aesthetically impressive but also serves a practical purpose, protecting it from the strong winds that rage around the building's imposing 828 meters. Those who manage to reach these celestial heights are rewarded with unparalleled views of the city.

As part of the Middle East, Dubai is home to a significant number of camels, which serve a variety of purposes. These imposing animals are an integral part of daily life in Dubai. You'll find racing camels here, and there are even foods made with camel milk and/or camel meat. Restaurants serving camel meat, however, are rare.

You might also consider replacing regular chocolate with camel milk chocolate as a souvenir for friends and family. For true adventurers, a camel desert safari outside the city can be a unique experience. There, you can experience the life of the Bedouins in the desert up close and learn a lot about their culture.
