The Transformation of Dubai Into Luxury Destination

The credit for transforming Dubai into a luxury destination goes to Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. Back in the day, Dubai was just an oil mining site and it could have been left as it was but luckily right leaders decided to create a luxurious destination where they could promote tourism and bring in the right investment opportunities. So now today, Dubai is not only a tourist hub but a land filled with business opportunities welcoming all kinds of innovation and infrastructure.

Careful Real-Estate Planning

Dubai was developed very strategically. In 1999, a famous hotel Burj al Arab was constructed that soon gained the status world’s first 7-star hotel. Today, the place is filled with high-end buildings and breath-taking architectural sites.

It is a result of that careful and strategic planning that now some of Dubai’s places and buildings are very commonly known. Now investors from all over the world compete to buy land in Dubai. Downtown, Dubai, Jumeirah Beach and Dubai Marina are luxury destinations where every investor wishes to own a piece of property.
