If travel is your passion, then Dubai is a pretty strategic place to be. With two thirds of the world’s population within an eight-hour flight, it’s an ideal base for exploring exotic destinations. And Dubai’s airlines are making it even easier for avid globetrotters, with new flight routes being added all the time.
