One of the places I've always wanted to visit is Dubai. All the places that the group presented on were places I would love to see in person. The Jumeirah Beach Hotel was built in 1997 and is a 26 story building. It is 305 ft tall and 902 ft long. It is curved to resemble a breaking wave and overlooks the famous water park. Burj Al Arab was built in 1999 and is the worlds only 7 star hotel. It includes a underwater restaurant as well as a sky view bar. It is a iconic symbol of Dubai and it 1,035 ft tall. Burj Kahlifa was built in 2004 and is the tallest building in the world. It also contains the highest mosque and a swimming pool. It is 2,717 ft tall. Ski Dubai was built in 2005 and is the equivalent of 3 football fields long. It is an indoor skiing place with real snow. The Infinity Tower was built in 2006 and is the worlds largest tower with a 90 degree twist. It is an 80 story residential building and is 1,000 ft tall. The Palm Islands were constructed in 2014 and are the largest artificial islands in the world. They are also the 8th wonder of the world. I would love to visit Dubai and stay in one of the many luxury hotels there.

Peer Review:
Holli: I liked how she focused on 2 of the places she was most interested in and elaborated on both of those things. I also liked how she included more detailed pictures of those places
Ashley: I liked how she touched on all the buildings that were presented for the place she picked and also talked about what she thought was interesting.
