Dubai
14 June 2005
Dubai is the largest city in the United Arab
Emirates and also a major economic hub. The construction booms of recent years
have created an impressive skyline which includes the Burj Khalifa, the tallest
building in the world at 829 metres. Tourism plays an important role in the
metropolis, where it is summer all year round.
Dubai is one of the most modern cities in
the world and is developing at a rapid pace. Attesting to the strength of the
bond, the city of Frankfurt am Main erected a literature-themed sculpture in
the Dubai International Friendship Garden. Regular exchanges between the
political and business communities help to deepen relations.
