DUBAI
Dubai, Oman, Jordan
Dubai is a city in the Unites Arab Emirates. Just twenty years in the making it boasts of Burj Khalifa, the highest structure in the world, 160 stories. It has created several artificial islands. Abu Dhabi, the richest city in the world, is on an island. Here the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the largest the country. Oman is an Arab country on the Persian Gulf.
Petra, in southern Jordan, is a historical and archaeological city carved in the 3rd century BC by the Nabataeans. Out of sandstone cliffs they carves palaces, tombs, temples, and tombs not discovered until 1812. The evening procession through a candlelit passageis spectacular. It’s like walking through the skyscrapers of Dubai but only of rock.
