Dubai-The LARGEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL city in the world! (56k=cry)

lol, I forget how much 1 island costs. I think it was like 10 mil or something haha

OMG, what incredible waste of money. Can't believe the population of Middle East is currently going trhu some of the hardest times they'll have 2 and some people are building an enormous city to make more cash.

I'm ashamed of being human

Dubai has one of the biggest foreign aid budgets in the middle east. With that said, why wouldn't they be making these attractions if they are profiting from them?

Not every middle eastern country wears Burkas. In fact, the majority don't :| Especially in the UAE.

Dubai is very westernized (george bush sounding word, lol)

Don't tell me the pop will have a good waves from it. Only the people who invested etc.

It's all that oil.error11

Yeah, that city will look amazing:shock:

Why the hell do you care where the money is coming from? You are the one paying for the oil and you will still be paying for it until you die.

There are more construction workers in the city than actual citizens, remember that.

I dunno, watch this vid though, crazy

as an artist, i love dubai. it is the most intense, over-the-top place in the world. architecture there is INSANE.

i am however beginning to consider it a slice of desert decadence. i love the architecture but do they need that much? furthermore, a lot of the projects are doing serious damage to the ecosystem,particularly those in the war. it disrupts the natural patterns of many animals, esp. sea turtles

Pretty unfortunate

You realize that they will run out of money then start to borrow from everyone then they will sell off those amazing buildings/locations bit by bit till the whole city is owned by foreigners, they are digging there own graves with extravagant spending, ill just sit back and lolBuyugold

They'll make billions off this city in the longrun. They have tons of $$$. They'll be fine. Dubailand is projected to get over 200,000 visitors A DAY. Think of all the $$$$$.

Dubai sucks! NY ftw!

Isnt it a miracle to have a colossal park right in the middle of one the most busiest city in the world?

Still can see the sunset :D

Yea, the tower in dubai that rotates has windmills built in every level and the entire thing is powered by wind.

I like how some of you are under the uninformed thinking that everywhere in the Middle East = women wearing things over their heads. The only country where one is required to wear that is in Saudi Arabia which is run by extremist muslims that practice wahabism(sp?). That would be like the USA being a theocracy run by extremist evvangelical christians. I think in Iran, liberal compared to Saudi Arabia and noit run by extremists but still a theocracy, women have to wear one as well, but im not sure if it is required by law. Afghanistan used to have that law under teh Taliban(other extremist muslims) however they have been deposed and that is no longer required.

Also there was that poster who said the "population of the middle east is having its hardest time" acting as if it is one nation. The oil rich nations are making more than ever due to increasing fuel costs, and are not facing the problems of other nations such as afghanistan, pakistan, palestine, iraq. You can't just group an entire region and act as if it is all the same

And to the person saying there is extreme polarization ( either one is rich or poor), well that is capitalism.

Which makes it right?

A **** load of oil money combined with one crazed architect. Who can say first symbol of a developing Ecumenopolis. This goes on my list of top cites to visit before I die.tb254

By the time the city is completely finished, It won't be "polarized." I'd move there if the opportunity comes up in the future, the Air Force has great benefits!
