The Map Geek

I have always had a love of maps and geography. Ever since I had Geography classes back at Alexander Elementary School in Greenville, South Carolina I can always remember the chalkboard size world map on the wall in the class room. Even recently for Christmas my wife gave me a Rand McNally Road Atlas, that I always seem to have near me. The best thing about having a map or atlas is that you always know where you or going, so no one can say that you are lost! Well, I want to share my guilty pleasure of the "Worlds Greatest Skylines". So I will to do a monthly post of the worlds best skylines starting with Dubai.

Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arabian Emirates(UAE). It is located south of the Persian Gulf. Dubai has the largest population and is the second-largest emirate by area, after Abu Dhabi. Dubai has emerged as a global city and a business hub, although Dubai's economy was built on the oil industry ,currently the emirate's main revenues are from tourism ,real estate and financial services.
