The Height of Luxury Living in the City of Gold
To quote HH Prince Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who was instrumental in building Dubai up from a stunning Arabian desert to a bustling metropolis, “Everybody starts small… How fast you go, how far you get, is in your hands. The bigger your vision, the bigger your achievement will be… (And) we have to be brave to be big.” That statement perfectly describes the coveted lifestyle Dubai has to offer today.
