Their essence is of long-distance travel. It's no secret the camel can endure days in scorching hot deserts while transporting precious cargo and whole tribes across great distances. Thanks to Kevin Dennis and Julie Robinson for this excellent photo of the camels!(above) Falconry  is an age-old UAE  heritage  sport that existed in the country for thousands of years “I have spent weeks in the desert, forgetting to look at the moon, he says, as a married man may spend days never looking into the face of his wife. These are not sins of omission but signs of pre-occupation.”

I'm not going to use  hyperbole to  attempt to answer the question of what Dubai signifies- it just is a cool place to visit, and certainly a welcome change from KSA.  Money doesn't talk here, it shouts- it is the jewel of the arab world.
