It has come a long way, Dubai has grown into a modern city and is still busy defining its skyline with daring architecture.
The city of Dubai is becoming always more ambitious and some of the buildings are true pieces of art for those who appreciate modern architecture. What helps is of course the availability of low-income countries in the vicinity, and indeed, you see many construction workers working hard in the sun to realize the projects.
