See the $3.89 billion Dubai Metro project under construction. Drive along the 2 km² development area called 'Downtown Dubai' and see the unique mass-birth of sparkling skyscrapers like the Burj Dubai, which is predicted to be the tallest man-made structure in the world.

Walk with us through the largest shopping mall outside of North America, the ‘Mall of the Emirates’ with 200 shops, cinemas and bars, which are even licensed to serve alcohol. In the beginning and the End of the video you see the world's largest indoor ski slope, a 280-foot ice-capped mountain (in the desert where temperatures reach 120 degrees!!!). There's a lodge, lifts, and evergreens … enjoy! (12/2007)
