Dubai Wonder【ASSOULINE】

As an international port city and desert oasis, Dubai is one of the most important metropolises in the Middle East. Starting with pearl diving, fishing, and trade, Dubai has gradually surpassed its historical origins. As the most populous emirate among the seven emirates unified in 1971 by founder Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Dubai has become one of the grandest and most dazzling cities in the world, attracting numerous architectural stars such as Zaha Hadid, Foster and Partners, and Santiago Calatrava. Dubai’s skyline features the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa; the vast Dubai Mall; the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel; and the Dubai International Airport – symbols of ultimate luxury. Dubai Wonder takes readers on a journey through this historic city, exploring its cultural diversity and unique communities, including Deira, home to Dubai’s Khor Dubai, which for decades served as the center of the city’s economy based on pearl diving and fishing; Al Quoz, the cultural heart of the city; the Dubai International Financial Centre; and Jumeirah, a primarily residential area with renowned resorts along the coastline. The book also explores Dubai’s thriving art scene, including the Art Dubai fair and Alserkal Avenue, home to numerous art galleries. Furthermore, Dubai Wonder guides readers into the highly anticipated 2020 Dubai Expo, which will open in October 2021 and has been hailed as the grandest World Expo in history. As a center for innovation and firsts, Dubai represents a vision for the future, convincing all that anything is possible here. Each page of this book reveals how this awe-inspiring city is making that vision a reality. ** The Ultimate Luxury Coffee Table Book Brand – Assouline ** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54253808020_ff23841a2a_z.jpg Exclusively introduced by Baker-McGuire’s Taiwan flagship store, Assouline, hailed by The New York Times as the “Birkin of Books,” now has its only dedicated brand section in Taiwan.
