التحكيم العقاري الهندسي

منازعات عقود الانشاءات الدولية وعقود الفيديك

دورة التحكيم العقاري الهندسي - مركز تحكيم راس الخيمة

دورة التحكيم العقاري الهندسي – مركز تحكيم راس الخيمة

أقيم بمقر غرفة تجارة راس الخيمة وبرعاية مركز راس الخيمة للتوفيق والتحكيم التجاري , وبتنظيم المعهد العربي للمحاسبين والقانونين دورة تدريبية بعنوان التحكيم العقاري الهندسي , وتناول المحاضرون مواضيع تتعلق بمنازعات عقود الانشاءات الدولية وعقود الفيديك .

إنعقدت الدورة على مدى ثلاثة أيام , والمحاضرات كانت من إعداد المستشار محمد البديري , والمهندس خالد شهيل .

تناول المستشار محمد البديري في اليومين الاول والثاني مواضيع عديدية تتعلق بالعقود والجانب القانوني المتعلق بالتحكيم , فيما تناول المهندس خالد شهيل الجانب الفني الخاص بالمنازعات التي قد تنشأ في عقود الانشاءات .

بدأت الدورة أعمالها بالتعريف بالفيديك حيث أشار المحاضر الى تاريخ نشأة الفيديك وتطوره عبر التاريخ , حيث تم تأسيس الفيديك أول مرة عام 1913 بمساهمة ثلاث جمعيات أوروبية للمهندسين الاستشاريين ناطقة بالفرنسية .

من أنشطة الفيديك هي اعداد ونشر نماذج للعقود المتصلة بأعمال المقاولات بأنوعها المختلفة سواء كانت أعمال مدنية إنشائية , تشمل الاعمال الكهربائية والميكانيكية , أو عقود الدفعة الواحدة , عقود المقايسة , بالاضافة الى عقود تسليم المفتاح.

كما تم التطرق الى التعريف بالعقود النموذجية الصادرة عن اتحاد الفيديك , واجاب المحاضر عن التساؤل الذي يطرح والذي هو : لماذا اهتم الفيديك بنشر نموذج للعقود المتصلة بأعمال المقاولات بأنواعها , ونقلا عن ماقاله رئيس لجنة الفيديك للعقود , إذ يرى أن هناك حاجة أساسية لضمان العدل في العقود التي تبرم في صناعة المقاولات , ولكفالة أن يحصل المقاول على عائد منصف وعادل من العمل الذي يقوم به .

وفيما يخص القوه القانونية للعقود النموذجية الصادرة عن الفيديك , حيث تكتسب هذه العقود أهميتها في كونها نماذج من العقود تم اعتمادها من قبل منظمة عالمية تعنى بالمشاكل التي يواجها المهندسين أثناء تنفيذ عقود التشييد والبناء نتيجة لتطور هذه الصناعة والحاجة لايجاد أسس تعاقدية مسبقة تحاول تخطي المشاكل التي تعترض تنفيذ تلك العقود , والتي تؤثر على عمليات التعاقد مع الجهات المالكة للمشاريع الامر الذي ينعكس سلبا على عمليات التطوير الاقتصادية والبناء .

كما تناول المحاضر مواضيع تتعلق بآثار عقد المقاولة ( الحقوق والالتزامات الناشئة عنه ) , وتمت مناقشة حقوق والتزامات رب العمل , والمقاول طبقا لنص قانون المعاملات المدنية لدولة الامارات العربية المتحدة .

وفي محور آخر تمت مناقشة المسئولية القانونية للمهندس في مواجهة المقاول ورب العمل , وتم استعراض النصوص القانونية حسب ما نصت عليه التشريعات في قانون المعاملات المدنية لدولة الامارات العربية المتحدة .

وفي عنوان آخر كان التحكيم في عقود التطوير العقاري موضوعا مهما للنقاش ولتبادل الاراء المختلفة بين المحاضر والحضور الكريم , وكان من المفيد سماع رأي المختصين فيما يتعلق بالتطوير العقاري ودور المطور في التطوير الاقتصادي للبلد , حيث تمت مناقشة التطوير العقاري في دولة الامارت العربية المتحدة والقوانين المطبقة والناظمة لتملك الاجانب للعقارات بالاضافة الى مناقشة التملك الحر داخل الامارات , والقانون العقاري وقانون الملكية الجماعية .

تكريم الحاضرين من قبل ادارة المركز

وفيما يخص التحكيم في منازعات التطوير العقاري , تناول المحاضر القوانين الناظمة لحل النزاعات حسب قانون الاجراءات المدنية , كما تمت مناقشة أنواع وطرق حل النزاعات الناشئة , كذلك التعريف بالتحكيم الحر والتحكيم المؤسسي , بالاضافة الى التعريف بمراكز التحكيم الموجودة بدولة الامارت والتعريف بدورها في تنظيم وإدارة القضايا التحكيمية .

آليات تسوية المنازعات الناشئة عن عقود الفيديك وخصائصها , وطرق تسوية المنازعات كانت احدى المواضيع التي تمت مناقشتها مع الحضور , بداية كان الحديث عن الطرق الودية في حل المنازعات : تقوم العلاقات التعاقدية بحسب الاصل على مبدأ حسن النية فيمكن اعتبار أن مبدأ حسن النية هو مبدأ مفترض في كل الشرائع بحيث يقوم الاطراف المتعاقدين بتأسيس علاقتهم التعاقدية متوسمين بحسن نواياهم والتزاماتهم بروح العدالة وينتج عن اعمال هذا المبدأ الالتزام المفترض بالمتعاقدين بحل الخلافات التي قد تنشأ عن تعاقداتهم , ولم تشذ الشروط العامة  لعقود فيديك النمطية عن هذه المبادئ .

مواضيع أخرى عديدة تمت مناقشتها , ومنها دور المهندس في تحكيم العقود الانشائية , المهام المكلف بها المهندس الاستشاري , التكييف القانوني لاعمال المهندس الاستشاري وطبيعته مسؤوليته, تقيم دور المهندس الاستشاري , مشاكل التحكيم في عقود الفيديك , ومواضيع أخرى عديدة .

بقى أن نذكر أن الدورة اتسمت بدرجة عالية من التنظيم , وبجودة المواد العلمية المقدمة , والتي أثراها خبرة المحاضرين الطويلة ومعلوماتهم القيمة والغنية .

IMG Worlds of Adventure

IMG Worlds of Adventure 

IMG Private Theme Park opened for Public.

img-exterior-654x308

IMG, Centrally located within City of Arabia, on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (formerly Emirates Road), Dubai, U.A.E., IMG Worlds of Adventure is the first integrated Entertainment Destination in the Middle East and the only private themed entertainment facility in the entire Asian continent to feature attractions at par with other internationally renowned parks. And all this inside the largest temperature controlled indoor entertainment destination in the world, designed to attract in excess of 20,000 visitors per day.

Largest indoor theme park in the world opens to the public

IMG Worlds of Adventure is combining the very latest in themed attractions, rides, edutainment, and international branded content all under one roof and spanning in excess of 1.5 Million sq.ft.

IMG Worlds of Adventure has entered into agreements with world renowned licensors, to use their concepts and characters. IMG Worlds of Adventure will be the catalyst to boost the entire City of Arabia development. The Park boasts of innovative rides and one of the regions largest roller coasters. It will also comprise retail outlets including food and beverage and licensed merchandising.

 Construction works on the project have already commenced and are expected to be completed by 2014. The ride mix encompasses all ages and therefore, makes a unique destination for the whole family.

The park will also have a NOVO cinemas in the complex which residents will be able to go to without paying the general entrance fee. IMG CEO Otto said it would be “a natural fit” to have premieres of Marvel movies at a cinema in a Marvel theme park and that they may “bring the actors over”. So yes, we might be able to see Chris Hemsworth or Robert Downey Jr in the flesh soon (fingers crossed).

Plus, another promise from Otto was that the food in the park will “kill the notion of bad food in theme parks”. There will be 28 F&B outlets in total – with everything from food trucks to fine dining covered, and 13 types of cuisine represented. A list of some of the F&B outlets to be expected can be found here.

In mega-cool news, the 10-storey Stark Tower (love you Tony) inside the Marvel zone will be home to a fine dining restaurant with, in their words, “Michelin-star-quality chefs”. Also, apparently Marvel (which is owned by Disney) were very involved in the planning of the park – both creatively and operationally, which is good news when you consider that everything they touch turns to gold.

Now, finally, before we get onto details of the rides, what about traffic? We all know the issues on SMBZ road when Global Village is open, but throwing a theme park into the mix? Well, there is currently one major entrance to the park (the same entrance as The Villa community), but the park can also be accessed from Al Barari and they are in the process of building two more entrances to the park. Plus you’ll also have access to the park from a whole new highway that’s being built from Dubai Silicon Oasis to Dubai Investment Park.

 AND NOW DETAILS ON THE RIDES

Protect Natural Resources, Utilize Solar Electric Power

Protect Natural Resources, Utilize Solar Electric Power

Protect Natural Resources

Protect Natural Resources

Solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydropower and biomass are some of the renewable sources of energy. Using of renewable sources of energy is good because these sources offer an environmentally friendly option than utilizing fossil fuels. There will be an improve energy security and energy independence if people use renewable source of energy. Also renewable sources of energy are the cleanest and safest energy sources.

The well-known source of energy which is the solar energy is an environment-friendly and endless renewable source of energy. Solar power doesn’t result in the emission of harmful carbon dioxide unlike the use of fossil fuels. The sun will be the unlimited source of energy and with right technologies can provide sufficient electricity that could be used in every single household or even in commercial and industrial properties.

The use of solar power has a positive effect in the environment because taking advantage of solar energy does not contribute to climate change, acid rains or any kind of pollution. When transformed from solar radiations, solar energy may possibly be converted to thermal energy or electric power. This may also be employed in a number of applications like in agriculture and analysis. At present, solar power is being utilized in two areas namely for the production of thermal energy which can heat up water and producing of electric power by utilizing the photovoltaic cell.

Photovoltaic cells or PV cells captures solar energy then transforming it into electricity. These cells convert sunlight into electricity by employing the energy developed when photons from sunlight push electrons into greater state of energy. Yet solar power is not only limited to thermal energy and electricity simply because currently, numerous devices which are powered by solar energy exist in the market.

Another Sample about How to protect Natural Resources

Solar energy is an excellent source of supplying power to homes and companies and by utilizing solar power you’re not merely protecting the environment from becoming polluted but also you are saving the rest of the earth’s natural resources. Capturing solar energy does not contribute any pollution and does not harm the atmosphere. One of the factors why many individuals are still hesitant to make use of solar power is because it is expensive. The initial investment of installing solar power system for a home is expensive and aside from that solar power still wants to boost its deficiency. The need of big location of space is another reason why people aren’t taking into consideration solar power.

How to Write a Professional Real Estate Property

How to Write a Professional Real Estate Property

Description That Sells

Real Estate | Properties | Development 

Writing a real estate description is something needs to think very careful about it. 

There are do’s and don’ts when it comes to writing a professional property description that sells. An effective property description can determine whether or not you sell the property.

Real Estate | Properties

Real Estate | Properties

Headline:

To begin, your headline must jump out from the page and catch the attention of the buyer. Make the headline appealing with captivating and positive words.

Description:

Always begin your description with the selling points of the property. List the best features first to keep the attention of the buyer. Use adjectives to spice up the description. For example, instead of stating dining room, try spacious dining room for your family to gather and share a meal. Let the buyer know why they will want the selling points of the house.

It’s important to sell the area to potential buyer as well. Are you selling to someone looking for a single family home or a multi-million dollar estate? Highlight points in the area that appeal to your buyer like schools, shopping, public transportation, etc.

Location:

Include the geographical area in your description. Many buyers are looking to buy in a specific area.

Price:

Including the price of the property is especially important for the for sale by owners. Price inclusion is a way to screen potential buyers.

Call to Action:

End your description with encouraging words for buyers to call you. Give them a reason for a call to action. “This beautiful property will go fast, call now for more details.”

Wording:

Choose your words wisely and keep them positive. Certain words sound better and are more appealing to potential buyers. For instance try cozy instead of small.

Now that you know what should go into an effective property description, you need to know what shouldn’t. Avoid the following:

* Spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes

* Uncommon abbreviations

* Clichés

* Jargon

* Passive voice

* Over the top vocabulary

Write in the present tense and make sure to include words like you and your in your description. This way potential buyers will feel as though you are speaking directly to them.

The Numerous Benefits of Time Management Skills

The Numerous Benefits of Time Management Skills

Time Management Skills

Time Management Skills

It’s normal to hear time management discussed in business circles; yet, it is a topic that can be of great benefit to everybody. Time is a challenge for all of us, whether we’re business people, workers, students or stay at home moms or dads. There seems to be less time in today’s world, and that’s why it’s a lot more important to learn how to properly manage our time. In this article, we are going to be discussing a few key reasons why time management is so important.

A big benefit of time management is just how that it boosts your productivity. It is something that almost everybody hopes to be able to do. Seldom do you hear of individuals who feel that they’ve got adequate time to do the things they need and wish to do. In lots of instances, the problem is not not enough time but rather the fact that you do not have an efficient way of managing your time. Time management shows you how to set priorities, and to focus on how much time you’re wasting every day. The idea is not really to put yourself under more pressure to try and do more, but to utilize your time more wisely so you appear to have more of it.

One positive advantage of time management is decreased levels of stress. Not having enough time is one of the main reasons we experience stress. Think about how tense you feel if you are worrying about being late for a scheduled visit or if you’re stuck in traffic. These issues relate to time, and if you have this type of situation often you could probably benefit from some training in time management. Learning how to control schedule so that overwhelmed us and become an issue indicates that you are supervising your time efficiently. We often believe that the solution to our problems is doing things faster, but it could be even better and more relaxing if we learn how to manage our time better.

Time management doesn’t just includes boosting your productivity and efficiency; you also want to feel more pleasure and a better quality of life. Time is an important component of life and so we feel better about our lives when we have the ability to control our time. Conversely, feeling that we’re running out of time can create an overall feeling that we aren’t good in some part of life. Those who are genuinely successful are aware that time management is a crucial skill they have to get good at. It could be the one determining factor that lets you live in the moment and appreciate your life instead of feeling that time is a merciless boss.

Time management is very significant in our present times, even more so than in previous decades. Existing technology allows us to do things faster than before and yet we feel forced to continually increase the pace. As an example, we continue to have difficulty keeping track of the large number of available information even with computers and other gadgets that are extremely powerful. Time management is the component that can give us a sense of control over time so we can quit rushing and loosen up.

7 Design Tips for Best Architectural Acoustics

Acoustics | Architectural Acoustics

Architectural Acoustics

The science of sound as it pertains to buildings. There are three major branches of architectural acoustics. (1) Room acoustics involves the design of the interior of buildings to project reflected and diffused sound at appropriate levels and time intervals and with appropriate esthetic qualities for music and adequate intelligibility for speech. Room acoustics is an essential component of the design of theaters, concert halls, lecture rooms, classrooms, and churches, among other building types. (2) Noise control or noise management involves the reduction and control of noise between a potentially disturbing sound source and a listener. The walls, floors, ceilings, windows, and doors in buildings reduce sound energy as it travels through them. Sources of disturbing noise may be equipment and people within the building or intruding noise from external sources of sound, such as amplified music, airplanes, or highways. Noise from building services, including heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems; lighting systems; communication, voice, and data systems; and electric power systems, must also be controlled so that it does not disturb people using the buildings. (3) The design of sound reinforcement and enhancement systems uses electronic equipment to improve the quality of the sounds heard in rooms.

7 Design Tips for Best Architectural Acoustics

Architectural design requires that acoustics be well thought out and coordinated. The sound spectrum must remain clear without portions distorted or missing. The paper, Acoustics and Sound Systems in Architectural Design, emphasizes how acousticians should be part of the design team early on. The author describes how it is important to avoid overlapping sound waves that project into a common space – this interference is what can distort the sound spectrum.(1)

The following are 7 additional design tips to achieve the best architectural acousticswithin a space. These principles highlight some of the most informative ideas found within Acoustics and Sound Systems in Architectural Design for best aural experience.

1) Watch out for SOUND REFLECTIONS. Straight surfaces reflect sounds back into the central space making sound clarity muddy.

2) Select ACOUSTICAL TREATMENT carefully. Different materials absorb sound frequencies differently. Make sure your acoustical treatments are absorbing the right sound frequencies.

3) Diminish ECHOES when necessary. Be aware that sounds traveling within 30 milliseconds of each other are perceived without echo. Sounds traveling after the 30 millisecond threshold become echoes of the original sound.

4) Don’t let other building systems get in the way. NOISE CONTROL is important to keep in check as other building systems (like HVAC systems) operate. Keep such clashing noises to a minimum.

5) Keep objects or other OBSTRUCTIONS out of the way. Objects that obstruct a sound path can block high frequency sounds. (Low frequency sounds can bend around objects.)

6) Get good PATTERN CONTROL. Make sure sound systems for a room get good sound coverage. This will prevent feed-back and other sound distortions.

7) For out-of-the-way listening areas get DISTRIBUTED SOUND SYSTEMS. Such “delay-fill” speakers operate with an electronic delay so the sound matches and is synchronized.

In the end, it is important to make sure that the architectural acoustics match the architectural function and aesthetic value of a particular project. I remember visiting a hospital where the TV sound was obstructed by an HVAC vent. That simple sound collision can make for quite an uncomfortable hospital stay. Similarly, you should make certain that sound travels only when you want it to. Office conversations that needlessly travel to employee office spaces can be quite a distraction.

Involve your acoustician early and coordinate design efforts to avoid uncomfortable and sometimes painful aural sensations. Architectural acoustics are important beyond auditoriums, theaters and religious spaces.

Simple or Keeping it Simple

Simple or Keeping it Simple

Simple or Keeping it Simple

Simple or Keeping it Simple

Over the past few months, the concepts of stripping back the superfluous, simplifying and pulling apart the true meaning of integrity have been strong personal themes. For many people, there’s a drive to again inspect old patterns that continue to run happily in the background despite years of self-examination. Perhaps under the direction of a new global energy, there’s a sense of being able to lovingly let go of those things that have served us all well on one level, yet have offered excuses to stay small on another.

I came across Don Miguel Ruiz’ “The Four Agreements” the other day and it strongly resonated with this desire to pare back; to simplify; to become more real as a participant in this world and begin operating in a more authentic way.

With these 4 simple tenets, we could literally change the way we as humans operate in this world. How do they resonate with you? Please feel free to share your thoughts, we’d love to hear from you.

As Simple As that

As Simple As that

1. Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Architect Dame Zaha Hadid dies

Architect Dame Zaha Hadid dies after heart attack

Zaha : By Basel Al Najjar 01-04-2016

Zaha-Hadid

Zaha-Hadid

Architect Dame Zaha Hadid, whose designs include the London Olympic Aquatic Centre, has died aged 65.

Iraqi-born, this year she was the first woman to receive the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) Gold Medal in recognition of her work.

She died following a heart attack on Thursday in a Miami hospital, where she was being treated for bronchitis.

Her designs have been commissioned around the world, including Hong Kong, Germany and Azerbaijan.

 

Zaha Hadid

Collecting her Gold Medal in February, Dame Zaha said she was proud to have been the first woman to win in her own right.

“We now see more established female architects all the time,” she said.

 Since her student days in London at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid (born 1950) has been intensely preoccupied with changing our general notions of space – not only in a physical sense, but also socially and culturally. Hadid’s projects are characterized by their dynamic formal qualities of sinuously, curving shapes, or crystallized strata. This sums up as a kind of new Baroque, a sensuous, more vibrant and engaging type of architecture.

Hadid’s projects during the late 1970s and 1980s were marked by a profound understanding of early 20th  Century avant-garde artists and architects. In an attempt to redevelop and make relevant again the formal investigations of Russian Constructivism and Italian Futurism, her projects expressed utopian ideals.

Hadid's projects

Hadid’s projects

Today, Architects create landmarks projects for all types of functional programs. Their buildings are never bland or mundane, but moreover assertive statements of a particular view, that the world may indeed look different. Their efforts have resulted in a staggering almost one thousand projects throughout the globe, in every scale, from urban design schemes to objects and furniture design.

Hadid's projects

Along with her strong conceptual and historical awareness, nature’s forms and shapes appear as a recurrent source of inspiration for Zaha Hadid’s architecture. It includes attention to physical contexts and landscapes, whether resulting in layered structures or powerful moving lines but also exploring possible interfaces between patterns and construction.

 

Hadid's projects

Hadid’s projects – Dubai Business Bay

Zaha Hadid Architects embraced digital drawing early on. This has made the studio able to challenge traditional ways of making architecture. In collaboration with senior office partner Patrik Schumacher, Zaha Hadid has meticulously explored the possibilities of parametric design, allowing for the conception and construction of architecture as seamless flows of energy and matter. Zaha Hadid is the 2004 Pritzker Prize laureate and winner of the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011.

 A lot of people spend a lifetime trying to understand the world. A few just try to get the world to understand them. Zaha Hadid, perhaps more important than someone who was merely waiting for their time to come, instead witnessed the world adapting to her.

RIP , the Architect Who Showed Us What the Future Looks Like

Dubai Frame to be opened for public soon

Dubai Frame to be opened for public soon

Dubai Frame - 2016

Dubai Frame – 2016

The city’s new iconic landmark, Dubai Frame, will be ready for visitors SOON.

The tower’s height can be compared to that of a 50-storey building, and although the bridge’s capacity and cover charge has not been revealed as yet, officials involved in the construction of the project have assured that the probability of it reaching full capacity remains unlikely — so as to ensure the comfort of tourists and visitors alike.

Since construction started at the end of 2013, the Dh160 million project is now close to completion.

The Dubai Frame project consists of two 150 meter towers 9 3 meters wide, connected with a 100 square meter bridge where ample room will be available for visitors to take snapshots of the city’s panoramic view. A cafe will also be available at the top.

The bridge was initially set to be completely made out of glass but, after careful consideration, it was decided to install a 25 square meter glass panel in the middle of it instead. Some people may be afraid to look down, and we wanted to make this iconic building an enjoyable experience for all.

Construction work on the iconic Dubai Frame project adjacent to the Stargate theme park in Zabeel Park, Dubai, is ongoing.

Construction work on the iconic Dubai Frame project adjacent to the Stargate theme park in Zabeel Park, Dubai, is ongoing.

The project is located near the Star Gate games and rides area of Zabeel Park and, according to municipal documents, the tower’s mass was recorded at a staggering 23,453 tones. The site for the landmark tourist and leisure attraction was chosen after extensive surveys of what location would offer the best views of new Dubai and old Dubai through the frame.

The Project is at the final phase of cladding the building, and an external cladding cleaning mechanism will be incorporated in the design by consultants. the panoramic lift will be fixed and the museum will also be set up.

The last phase in Dubai Frame’s construction includes panelling the photovoltaic tiles to produce solar energy, where the glass elevator will offer unobstructed views as visitors travel up and down the sides of the frame.

At the top, visitors will have a bird’s-eye view of Old Dubai as they look towards Al Karama, Umm Hurair, Bur Dubai and Deira, and as they turn around, will see the high-rise towers and development projects of New Dubai in stark contrast.

Once opened to the public, visitors will have access to the museum located on the ground floor, which is set to showcase artefacts representing new and old Dubai, and will be equipped with multimedia presentations narrating the progress of Dubai’s rapid transformation from a small fishing and trading town by the sea to a modern metropolis.

The project is expected to attract 2 million visitors a year.

Dubai Frame Status:

Dubai Frame to be finished in 2016.

It is predicted that it will become a major tourist destination in the city – one of the buildings, like the Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab, that all visitors to Dubai will feel they need to see.

The Dubai Frame could be open just in time for National Day if the current schedule goes smoothly to plan

Construction work on the iconic Dubai Frame project adjacent to the Stargate theme park in Zabeel Park, Dubai, is ongoing.

Dubai is a ultra-modern city of diversity and contrasts at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. The city is a vibrant and unique destination, combining variety and excitement with excellent infrastructure and first-class hotels, as well as conference, dining, shopping and entertainment facilities.
The brilliance of modern architecture and engineering can be witnessed almost anywhere in the city. It is a city that was designed to the greatest among all in the world and it`s reputation is well deserved.
With an amazing array of sights, attractions, and events, there’s no shortage of things to see and do in Dubai.
