dubai 

Beautiful City located in the United Arab Emirates on the Persian Gulf. Currently, they have the world's largest indoor ski facility, third largest mall, some of the world's most beautiful architecture, tallest/best hotel on earth Burj al Arab hotel, and way more. Basically, the city went from desert to world city in 7 years, from 1999 to present day 2006. By 2008, they will have the world's largest: Theme park, tallest building (Burj Dubai), Mall. Also by 2008, they will have the world's only UNDERWATER hotel. In short, this city is amazing, regardless of the bias against the region.

I'm doing my Anthropology paper on the city of Dubai. There is nothing like it; it went from desert to world city in under 10 years!!

Dubai 

A friggin rich city. Unlike any dumb people who say it's economy is based on oil, barely ANY of it is based on that. It's mostly real estate, private banking, and world trade.

Huge and crazy projects are being built, like the Burj Dubai. It will be 900 metres (3 times the Eiffel Tower) high.

"Let's go build a second Eiffel Tower, Pyramid, and Tower of London! In the desert! Hooray!" - dubai real estate.

dubai 

By far the illest city in the world. Amazing food, amazing women, and of course, the world's best architecture.

Don't believe me? Just visit the damn place.

Dubai is the trading centre of the Middle East, and is the most liberal Islamic city/emirate there is.

Dubai 

a city which dumb idiots like the one above thinks is based on oil. the truth is, the oil sector makes up only around 6% of the DUBAI economy (2005). further diversification of the economy means that Dubai's oil sector will become an increasingly smaller contributor to the city's economy. an historical review of dubai shows that Dubai is, and always has been an important commercial and trading hub. dubai is also a city where racist people like the one above assume (maybe they were influenced by the evil guards in Disney's "Aladdin") that women are executed for being raped. The truth is that although drug traffickers can be faced with execution, execution is virtually never used as a punitive measure. Furthermore, the city has an extremely low crime rate unlike many American cities, where in spite of the so called "freedoms" women have, the raping and abuse of women is daily fare. Dubai is also a place where idiots like the one above characterize as being anti-semitic. this is also a deliberate attempt to misinform people as while the city is vehemently anti-zionist, it is in no way anti-semitic. anything less than tolerance and acceptance is not to be expected when one visits Dubai - a city where 85% of the population is made up of first generation immigrants from over 150 countries.

Dubai is the future.

dubai 

A city in the middle of the desert (United Arab Emirates) with lots of fancy architecture and artificial islands. Dubai was a noname town 20 years ago, but now suddenly wants to be on par with cities such as Chicago or Seoul.

Despite its "heavenly" appearance that its wealthy owners constantly brag about, the city faces many issues. About 80% of its residents are migrant workers who built the city but get paid jack shit and sleep eight to a room. They're not much better off than slaves. The city's economy and culture is completely built around tourism so naturally prostitution is very present in Dubai, despite being illegal. Children often are forced into being camel jockeys and are sometimes physically and sexually abused. Homosexuals get executed when caught, since being gay is illegal in the UAE.

The city will soon be home to the completed Burj Dubai, the world's tallest skyscraper. Also the tallest building in history to be built entirely by slave labor.

Steve: Wow, I heard Dubai went up in less than a decade? Isn't that amazing?

Chris: Not really. It's not that hard to build a city when you have 1.3 million slaves doing it for you.

Dubai 

The Worst city in the whole entire world. A place for construction, Racial discrimination and sexism. The government and the police are biased. UAE nationals and fair skinned people are the best in dubai, all other nationalities suck There is nothing to do because of the heat. Oh my god and the construction workers. They are discriminated against, given such low salaries and some havent been paid for several months. They built the city goddamn it. Everything is sooooooooooooooo expensive there and it is not worth it. There is no street life in the new parts of dubai because of the construction. The amount of accidents which happen here is unbelievable, last year there were 600 road accidents, probably more. half the internet is blocked, the beaches are dangerous because there are dangerous creatures in the water. Overall, dubai is a crap place for losers

Dubai sucks, do not go there
