Dubai is relentless, and is certainly not going to let anything get in the way of its ambitions. The icons of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building of the world and the the golden Burj Al Arab, with hotels like the Atlantis Dubai on the Palm taking world stage, Dubai continues its ambition to be a global business and tourist destination. Similar ambitions are held by Abu Dhabi. Today, Abu Dhabi represents power and glory and all that comes with that: money, football clubs and a seat at all the important tables. Before the oil runs out in 100 years time, Abu Dhabi will transformed into a modern day nirvana. That vision has started with amazing hotels, such as the Emirates Palace, and the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Mosque, a modern day Taj Mahal. With Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Grand Prix on Yas Island, the United Arab Emirates will engage and amaze. With its grand plans to transform Saadiyat Island with the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and the Louvre Abu Dhabi as central pinnacles, this will become a modern cultural tourist hub within the Middle East, and not forgetting other grand initiatives such as Masdar, the world's multi billion dollar first alternative energy powered city called Masdar. Abu Dhabi is quietly developing at a pace. Blink and you will miss it. And before you think it's all about Abu Dhabi and Dubai remember that right next door, Qatar is preparing itself for the first ever FIFA World Cup in Arabia. Oh, and if you have never been to Oman, you have missed out on nature's best kept secret.

The question is not where to go - the question is where to go first. The story of modern day Arabia is being written; join us on the adventure as we give it to you real about everything from tourism to jobs and abayas to oil and the lowdown on some of the best hotels in the world. In years to come there will be a case study that charts the rise of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In the meantime, there is Grapeshisha.

It's all here on the site, Dubai. Abu Dhabi....The United Arab Emirates and beyond.... And this is GRAPESHISHA....the insider's guide to Arabia.
