Dubai is a city that has experienced a rather rapid growth spurt over the last few years. the growth is limited in how long it can last. From an Economics standpoint, what you have here is a classic case of irrational exuberance brought about by poor regulation and lack of proper control.

Dubai is a city of extremes. You have a very traditional and conservative local culture that accepts and welcomes modern and liberal expatriates with open arms. We all co-exist peacefully here. People are free to do as they please so long as it is not dangerous or disrespectful.

I personally live half a mile away from Burj Al Arab hotel, and about 10 miles away from where Burj Dubai is being build. Construction on the soon-to-be world’s tallest building has started, but it won’t be for a few more months that people will be able to see the actual building taking shape. It is expected that the building will be anywhere from 700 meters to 900 meters (2400-3000 feet) tall. Scary huh?! LOL Accross from my apartment is the mall of the Emirates, a mall that will have the world’s largest indoors ski slope (1400 feet long).

What else do you want to know about Dubai?
