Dubai is home to many first. Yes, they like it BIG (sense some kiasu-ness) here! They have the world tallest tower and the largest man-made island and not forgetting they even have 7 star hotel - the Burj Al Arab when the max is only 5 star. Gotta love the spirit!
My friends keep asking me where to go and what to do when they are here in Dubai. So I figured I would just write a blog about it once and for all.
Where to go? What to do?

Spectacular view from the TOP!
