What do you know about Dubai?

I know that Dubai is very multicultural city with only 15% of local population. Islam is the official religion. It is home for the tallest building in the world, the biggest shoppig mall, the largest flower garden in the world. Also Dubai is located in the middle of the desert but still you can go skiing anytime. Last year with friends I flew to Dubai to make sure that this place will be suitable for me. All of us we were impresse seeing how many impressive projects were released and how many amazing buildings are going to be built in the empty land, it is unbelievable how fast it is growing.
