When you think of Dubai a few key things come to mind: the architectural grandeur, the kind and beautiful people, the arabic culture and the breath taking scenery outdoors. One word, though, really seems to sum it all up and really captures the real essence of Dubai. That word is elegant, because there is no city in the world more elegant than Dubai.
