A MATTER OF GREAT PRIDE: Dubai being named among the top 100 places to visit in 2021 by Time magazine hardly comes as a surprise. For Emirati and expat residents alike, the city is the best place to work and live in. The reasons they cite are many: From being a land of opportunities with visionary leadership and state-of-the-art infrastructure to ensuring safety, security and freedom, Dubai provides it all. It is all the more creditable that these achievements have been realised in a short span of five decades. With the EXPO 2020 Dubai round the corner, there is so much more in the offing.
