    More wasted money in Dubai (pics) WTF?

    Lavish hotels, silver plated cars, stupid high skyscrapers, and now an indoor ski resort. We can only hope that the oil runs out soon. Unreal.










    Apologies if this has been posted before. I did a search and didn't find anything.

          Small note:

          Only 10-20% of the income of the Emeriates comes from Oil. They took care of that long ago.

              guess you haven´t heard of their newest projects yet hmm:
              1) one giant indoor ski resort. they want to host the olympic winter games in 20xx. looks pretty cool, like a giant bubble with a glas roof etc.
              2) a new skyscraper which is bigger than the taype-tower.
              they taype is something around 500m i think. in dubai they build one that is about 800m!

                  I doubt the people of Dubai have even seen a snow bank, much less a snow slope.

                                      There are at least a dozen in The Netherlands. The one in Dubai is owned by
                                      Dutch aswell....actually a lot of the construction and development contracts
                                      are with Dutch companies, the palm island villa project aswell :-)

                                              I am thinking of moving to Dubai in the near future.

                                              I know that they restrict a lot of adult sites over there.

                                              Is it possible to run an adult business from Dubai, using something like proxy servers? Any adult webmasters here living in dubai?

                                                                              honestly.. and ppl just come in and claim that since its THAT region then it MUST be oil.

                                                                              then again, us canadians must make the most out of our maple syrup industry that is 90% of our economy

Lane, who is from Turkey, pretty much said this is what everyone in Turkey thought of the US. He told me he came to the US was surprised that it was the same as anywhere else - there are both rich and poor, not every one has a big house, and you have to earn your way.

He told me that most of the "service staff" are typically caucasian westerners. (think that in Europe and N America, they are typically ethnic minorities)... strange.

Becoming creative to bring tourism to a small country is brilliant - having your own millionaires have their 'tourist' attractions on their own land is quite smart too. No need for them to travel & spend their bucks on Switzerland/Austria and other ski resorts when they're fed up of the heat - they have one right at home. Small yes, but don't be surprised if they take that up a few more notches.

                                                                                                                                                  I personally think it's smart for their economy & tourism industry.

It will consist of over 250 to 300 small private artificial islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. Each island will range from 250,000 to 900,000 square feet in size, with 50 to 100 metres of water between each island. It will cover a total area of 9 kilometers (5.4 miles) in length and 6 kilometers (3.6 miles) in width, surrounded by an oval shaped breakwater. The only means of transportation between the islands will be by marine transport.

                                                                                                                                                      The World Islands will be located 4 kilometers off the shore of Jumeirah, close to the Palm Jumeirah, between Burj Al Arab and Port Rashid. Each island will be sold to selected private developers and are expected to have pricing beginning at AED 25 million (US$ 6.85 million), for the AED 6.6 billion (US$ 1.8 billion) project.

                                                                                                                                                                  I know that they restrict a lot of adult sites over there.

                                                                                                                                                                  Is it possible to run an adult business from Dubai, using something like proxy servers? Any adult webmasters here living in dubai?
                                                                                                                                                                  I spend a lot of time over there. Not necesarrily for porn though.

                                                                                                                                                                  Anyway, all I can say is be careful. Although it is definitely the "Vegas" of the muslim world it is still muslim run. It feels like it isn't on the surface since they are not strict at all but you want to take precautions.

                                                                                                                                                                  So, make sure you have a proxy server. Make sure your money gets deposited in bank in a non muslim country. And don't even think about shooting porn over there.

                                                                                                                                                                  With that said, I have never seen more Russian prostitutes anywhere else on earth. It is a wild city. Definitely.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Jumeirah International has the best and most popular hotels there. I stay at the Madinet Jumeirah usually or Emirates Tower.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Here's a few pics from my last visit:

All the suites are located off of private canals. You have to take a boat to get to and from the hotel entrance


                                                                                                                                                                                              View from one of the boats from the room

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Dubai has one of THE most forward governments that this world has ever seen.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Local businesses - Tax Free.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  Foreign Businesses - Tax Free in the 'Tax Free Zone', for $X per year. If your company is big enough - anything over the cost to be in the TFZ is pure profit. Did you know that Panasonic UAE exists in the TFN - goods come from the manufacturers in China etc, land in Dubai, the price gets raised 30% to retail cost, and that 30% is pure profit. Not a bad deal!

                                                                                                                                                                                                  The government also setup 'Internet City' and 'Media City' - which are literally that - cities dedicated to media and internet. If you're a company looking to get setup seriously in tech, you go there, they set you up for free.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Until about 1.5 years ago, if you were foreign (and 80% of the population is) - you couldn't freehold land - you had to rent from the government. Now, in some places / emirates you can freehold - which created another massive $ boom for the government.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  The vast wealth of the Sheiks and government comes partly from oil, yes, but a very, very large chucnk of it is from how they setup their country.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Another interesting note - crime rate is 0, or there abouts. It's one of the safest places in the world.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I expected BIG things when I went to Dubai, but was BLOWN AWAY when I got there.
