具有“阳光之城”美誉的迪拜是阿联酋第二大城市,也是迪拜酋长国的首府。20世纪50年代,迪拜还是阿拉伯湾一个朴素的海滨小镇,到了90年代以后,迪拜发生了脱胎换骨的变化,鳞次栉比的摩天大楼在霍尔河畔奇迹般地崛起,来到这里的人以为自己仿佛到了纽约。迪拜不仅是海湾乃至整个中东地区的重要港口和最重要的贸易中心之一,其建筑也堪称世界上最前沿、最另类的。 Dubai, known as the “City of Sunshine,” is the second largest city in the UAE and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai. In the 1950s, Dubai was also a simple seaside town in the Arabian Gulf. By the 1990s, the reborn changes took place in Dubai. The numerous skyscrapers miraculously rise up along the Hall River. People who came here thought they had arrived new York. Dubai is not only one of the most important ports and most important trade centers in the Gulf and the entire Middle East, it also boasts the most advanced and alternative architecture in the world.
