Dubai, Abu Dhabi - 07 Mar 2024 to 13 Mar 2024
When
we think of Dubai, the wealth of the city immediately comes to mind. Today, the
city, which is known as the 'financial center' of the world, has a population
of about 3 million people. In short, Dubai is the most populous city in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE). The city has
grown rapidly over the past 50 years. From a small port with a fishing industry
as its main occupation, to a bustling metropolis with grand buildings, Dubai is
now facing a major challenge. The desert surrounding the emirate is now
swallowing up even its fertile land. The
United Arab Emirates is a country the size of Portugal, but 80% of its land is
desert. And this desertification is constantly increasing, and even fertile
land is becoming barren. According to a
government report released in 2019, "On one hand, the population is
growing rapidly, which has increased the demand for food, and land degradation
and desertification are occurring on a large scale." Therefore, stopping
this desertification and making barren land productive is a priority. Dubai is a place that tourists from all over
the world visit. I also got the opportunity to go to Dubai because of the
insistence of my friends. Kolhapur's 'Heaven Travellers' had organized a
'Dubai-Abu Dhabi' trip from January 16 to January 22, 2024.

Abu
Dhabi is located on an island in the Persian Gulf, off the west coast of the
United Arab Emirates, in the central part of the country. The city covers an
area of 67,340 square kilometers and has a population of about 860,000
(2008). Abu Dhabi, city and capital of
Abu Dhabi emirate, one of the United Arab Emirates (formerly Trucial States, or
Trucial Oman), and the national capital of that federation. The city occupies
most of a small triangular island of the same name, just off the Persian Gulf
coast and connected to the mainland by a short bridge. Abu Dhabi was formerly
an undeveloped town of only local importance, but the emirate's oil revenues
enabled it to evolve into a modern city with a fully developed infrastructure.
