5. This 19th century fortress was transformed into a cultural center and now houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to Sir Wilfred Thesiger, the intrepid explorer, travel writer and photographer who, with his Emirati and Omani companions, crossed the world's largest sand mass, the Rub' al Khali (literally, "the Empty Quarter"), twice in the 1940s. The fort also houses a temporary exhibition gallery. Surrounded by a lush park, it won the prestigious Terra Prize for contemporary architecture in raw earth.

About Dubai

Dubai rejser sig op af ørkenen og Golfens kyst, en by af skyhøje tårne, enorme storcentre og strande, med ældre handelskvarterer langs Dubai Creek.

Burj Khalifa, bygget til at være verdens højeste bygning, rager op over Downtown, hvor Dubai Fountain danser på en sø ved dens fod og Dubai Mall breder sig ved siden af. Langs kysten definerer det sejlformede Burj Al Arab, den palmeformede ø Palm Jumeirah og tårnene i Dubai Marina en skyline, der er rejst inden for den nulevende generations erindring.
