Dubai Skyscrapers, a sight to behold

Dubai Skyscrapers

World Tourism Organization reports that Dubai City is the #5 most visited city by international tourists arrivals for the year 2011 with 9.2M visitors. Dubai is well known as the global city and business hub of the Middle East, it is located on the emirate's northern coastline and lies directly within the Arabian Desert. Tourism is one of the most important strategy of their government to lure in fundings specially after the financial crisis of 2007-2010. A large part of the emirate's revenue now is coming from tourism as compared to other members of the UAE.

Dubai offers the best of everything, from the tallest building in the world (Burj Khalifa) to the world's largest malls, to world famous fountains, world largest artificial Islands, world class aquariums, world famous exhibitions and trade shows, ski resort, beaches, dune bashing, souks ,  their world class hotels and luxury homes (Dubai also ranks as the #1 for luxury homes in the world).

Just driving around Dubai is already an adventure, seeing these skyscrapers is already a sight to behold. Hong Kong may hold the city with the most skyscrapers with 292 above 150m, but Dubai holds the title of the city with the most number of skyscrapers above 200m!

Let me share some photos I have taken  while driving around Dubai:

Looking to Simplify Your Life Even Further? Check These Sites Out

The Internet has changed the world in so many ways. Life has become a lot easier, and services have become way cheaper. And if you’re somebody hoping to simplify some aspects of life to make way for things that matter more – family and relationships (for most, at least) – here are three sites that aspire to do just that:





1. JetRadar.com

Air travel has dramatically cheapened over the last decade, thanks to the emergence of low-cost airfare and online ticketing sites. As a result, however, many airlines had to close. Nowadays, competition between surviving airlines is so tough most of them had to resort to keeping their best deals to their own corporate sites or third-party websites they have exclusive contracts with, instead of price-comparison websites. This is to ensure they don’t lose sales to other airlines.

In turn, the consumer looking to find the best deal had to go from one airline website to another, one ticketing site to the next, one flight site to another and so on. If time isn’t on your side, you just might not find the cheapest possible airfare.

Well, believe it or not, JetRadar.com is on your side. JetRadar is a search engine that thoroughly checks 728 airlines and hundreds of flight sites for the cheapest airfare offers and makes the data available for public use. Cheapest airfare. One-stop portal. What more can you ask for?

2. Bitrix24.com

Efficiency in the workplace is a trait every business owner values, and well, for good reasons. That is why a lot of companies use CRM, social intranets and other online tools to enhance the productivity of their employees. So far, if there’s any remarkable downside to most of these tools, it is the cost of implementing them.

Bitrix24.com, a cloud-based social intranet and CRM platform, is here to provide a solution to the cost problem. Bitrix24.com is available for free for small companies comprised of just about 12 employees or less. The package comes with a CRM, real-time streaming, activity planner, sales funnel, work diary and other essential business features. For companies with a total headcount of more than 12 employees, monthly subscription starts at $99.

3. PickyDomains.com

Naming a business is an important process. Once a business is named, every marketing and advertising agenda revolves around the name. It is imperative, therefore, that careful consideration be given to a business name. On the domain arena, lots and lots – yes, we’re talking millions here – of domains have already been registered that finding the best domain for a website can be extremely challenging, if not expensive if you’re to hire a branding agency.

PickyDomains.com is a crowdsourcing site with a population of over 50,000 contributors. To start receiving suggestions, register as a client, deposit $50 for a name or domain (or $75 for a slogan), specify your naming needs, then sit back, relax and wait for the suggestions to start coming in. Now here’s something branding agencies just wouldn’t be willing to offer you: If none of the suggestions meet your needs, you can ask for a refund.
