Dubai ruler makes big donation



The Burj al-Arab is a large boat-shaped hotel - people even play tennis on its helipad.

Dubai is one of the seven states that make up the country United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The World and The Palm Islands are huge islands being built off of the coast of Dubai.

Each state has its own ruler.

He feels that education and research have to be improved in the UAE for the region to have a bright future.

There are almost 300 shops in a very tiny area, displaying more than 25 tonnes of gold at any time.

Dubai has been making news with some of its innovative real-estate projects.

So each shop, on the average, is displaying a person's weight in gold!

The ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, is donating ten billion dollars for education in the Middle East.

Sheikh Mohammed himself has helped create many of these.

A picture, taken from outer space, of one of the palm islands being built shows that it really does look like a palm tree.

Some of the other states are Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

Dubai's "Gold Souk" is a market where gold is sold almost like fish being sold in a fish market.

The ruler of Dubai happens to be both the Prime Minister and Vice-President of the UAE.

They are actually in the shape of the continents and palm trees.
