Words fall short of describing the wonderment that Dubai has to offer, from beaches, deserts, swanky restaurants, and delectable food to the magnificent Burj Khalifa. Along with Dubai, there are numerous cities in the United Arab Emirates that are worth a visit as they have their own unique charm that is certainly irreplaceable.
