It’s hard to explain what is Dubai unless you actually visit and experience it yourself. On one hand you’ve the sparkling symbols of human endeavor and pride lined along the Sheikh Zayed Road. And on the other you have vast expanses of one of the harshest deserts that can be humbling for any nomad.
However, there is a middle zone—the zone where nature’s harshness and human endeavor meets. This is the zone where a new Dubai is born everyday. This is the zone where Dubai extends beyond Sheikh Zayed Road. This is the zone that holds a promise but breaks many dreams. This is the zone where Dubai becomes a dichotomy.
