First Impression

As weird as this can appear I wasn't impressed by a "massive Dubai". Maybe this is due to a lack of scale or maybe because there isn't a concentration of buildings (skyscrapers) as you can see in other cities.

That said, the feeling is a bit different from any other place i visited. If I have to describe it in one word, I would say that Dubai is "New" :-) The first impression is nice as things are shiny. It doesnt give an idea that the city is outrageous and money focused.

In the (bit blurry) picture, is what i found to be the most attractive and classy towers in Dubai. The Emirates towers give you an impression of what French people would call "Grandiose"! 

The thought that goes with the first impression is that: All this used to be a desert !!
