Have you seen the movie of Aga Muhlach and Claudine Barretto before? It is a move entitled Dubai and explores the life of brothers living in the country as OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers). I actually havent seen the whole movie. I saw the full-length trailer though and was actually amazed that a country like that exists in the Middle East. No wonder it is dubbed as the “shopping capital of the Middle East”. With so many shopping malls and souks, there’s no better place to find products at unbeatable prices. It is truly a duty free shopper’s paradise that gives you more for your money.

It is also noticeable how the country is the popular option to most Filipinos these days, in addition to the US, Canada and Australia. Within my circle of friends, I know of more than 10 people who have gone there already to work. Most of them are licensed engineers, CPAs, accountants and architects. The businesses in Dubai are flourishing and there is a need for skilled workers. No wonder brain drain is happening to our country.

Most investors in Dubai are foreign ones. So the hotels and apartments in Dubai are stepping up as well. The
dubai apartments are now classified into types. There are luxury villas, dubai hotel apartments and dubai furnished apartments. Most prefer staying in these types of accomodations that in dubai hotels as they feel more at home. The apartments are also available for short-term leasing with more affordable options. This is the preferred option for foreign investors as they stay in the country for months at a time.

What are the things you can do in Dubai? You need to check out their art galleries. Of course, a trip in Dubai wouldnt be complete without seeing camel racing and experiencing driving in the desert! You can choose what type of driving you can do, but it should be a one-of-a-kind experience! You need to take a tour at the creeks too!
