Back in the 1930's, the flying boats resembled a gentleman's club in the sky.

Each night would be spent in an exotic location from Europe, to Egypt to Dubai Creek and thence to India and Australia Eighty years after the first flying boat service landed on Dubai Creek, Seawings offers an opportunity to experience travel by seaplane and explore less visited corners of the UAE THE SPIRIT OF SEAPLANE TRAVEL Now, Seawings offers the opportunity to voyage beyond Dubai to less visited and fascinating corners of UAE and Oman We bring you handcrafted private tours that fuse extraordinary scenic flights with luxury experiences to the mountains, beach and desert Our network of 25 locations across the region means that your itinerary can be tailor made to your liking DAY EXCURSIONS BY PRIVATE SEAPLANE Welcome to a whole new world of luxury and style showcasing Arabia Seawings has carefully selected a unique collection of tours and excursions combining comfort and luxury, to meet the exclusive needs of our guest Choose from a range of experiential packages under themes like Explore.

    Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity Dubai’s hosting of the 2020 Expo further authenticates its status as an example of an emerging Arab city that displays modernity through sequences of fragmented urban- scapes, and introvert spaces. The 2020 Expo is expected to reinforce the image of Dubai as a city of hybrid architectures and new forms of urbanism, marked by technologically advanced infrastructural systems. This paper revisits Dubai’s spaces of the spectacle such as the Burj Khalifa and themed mega malls, to highlight the power of these spaces of repre- sentation in shaping Dubai’s image and identity.

Dubai’s Abu Dhabi University interest to make headlines of the international media fostered major investment in an endless vocabulary of forms and fragments to create architectural specta- cles.
