Dubai’s bling has long been borrowed from other places. Drive around and you’ll see a landscape dotted with familiar sights: a tower that looks like Big Ben, two side-by-side knockoffs of the Chrysler Building, a London Eye-style Ferris wheel. And the city’s most popular restaurants have been upscale global chains such as Hakkasan, La Petite Maison and Nobu.
Now, Dubai is offering something different. After two decades of exponential growth, the once-sleepy trading port in the desert is cementing a new, unique cultural scene through dining and world-class hotels.
