It really surprises me that Dubai hasn't become a serious target for these extremist terrorists.. They are catering big time to the west and those tango hate that..
In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.
Oil reserves in Dubai are less than one-twentieth that of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, and oil income is now only a small proportion of the city's income. Dubai and its twin across the Dubai creek, Deira (independent at that time), became important ports of call for Western manufacturers. Most of the new city's banking and financial centers were headquartered in this area. Dubai maintained its importance as a trade route through the 1970s and 1980s. The city of Dubai has a free trade in gold and till the 90s was the hub of a "brisk smuggling trade" of gold ingots to India, where gold import was restricted (read the novel Dubai by Robin Moore).
Today, Dubai is an important tourist destination and port (Jebel Ali, constructed in the 1970s, has the largest man-made harbour in the world), but also increasingly developing as a hub for service industries such as IT and finance, with the new Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Transport links are bolstered by its rapidly-expanding Emirates Airline, founded by the government in 1985 and still state-owned; based at Dubai International Airport, it carries over 12m passengers a year.
Plane tickets are relatively expensive compared to other places. Roundtrips start at $1,200 and business class is usually about $6,000 First is $10k. Iknow nothing about first LOL but business on their airlines is far more luxurious than US first class flights. Very nice! You will always want to bite the bullet and spend the extra cash for the upgrade.
I am uploading some pics from my first trip as we speak, you can see the pics from another trip last year in this thread.

Here's some pics from my first trip. I don't have a lot of pics of the city because when you stay in nice hotels it's almost like it takes the whole trip just to explore them! That's the thing about this country, it's nightlife: bars, restaurants & clubs are all located inside the hotels. Drinking is against the rules in this Islamic country but they have the technical workaround by putting everything in hotels for "the visitors" yet they are right in they're partying with you popping bottless of champagne more expensive than Cristal with you! There's a lot of hotels in this relatively small area so it works out nicely.
I stayed in the Burj El Arab on the trip below. It's the worlds only 7 star hotel. Pure luxury. Insane. You gotta see it. It's so hot and humid that some of these pics are a bit fuzzy. The lens fogged up damn near everytime I went outside.
Pic of the hotel
Pic of the hotel driveway. Bentley's, Benz SLR's & Rolls Royces everywhere. I didn't see a Toyota anywhere! LOL

That is totally crazy... Working in construction there must have been very lucrative in the last decade..
It still is. Everywhere you look all you see is construction on mega projects. All of the big US construction companies are over there building like mad. They do construction 24 hours a day. No time off like over here in the states. They use cheap Indian labor for their workers.
Here's the lobby of the hotel: notice more Bentley's outside.
More lobby, they spare no expense
Yes, that is real 24k gold on the walls and columns.

View of another pretty cool hotel called the Jumeirah Beach Club.
View of the Wild Wadi water park. It's managed by a Texan. They pay him 6 figures and allow him to go home for 3 months a year.
View of my favorite hotel The Madinet Jumeirah. I stayed there every visit after this one.
It's nicer than the Burj IMHO (and cheaper too!)
Some cool things to do in the water... if you aren't afraid of Arabian sharks.
I am so I stayed on the shore. Call me a pussy if you like, I have heard of more
European tourists being eaten by the sharks as they try to swim around the
Burj than I need to for me to know not to play in the water.

They have these desert adventure tours where they take out some SUV's and drive like
maniacs jumping over sand dunes. It is pretty wild. They say they only use Land Cruisers
because they are the only popular SUVs that can handle it.
Overall the people are very nice. What I have found that holds true for the entire world is that poor people will kill you no matter if it's in a ghetto in Alabama or a poor town in Afghanistan.
If a country or a town is not poor then you have nothing to worry about. The people of the United Arab Emirates are some of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of doing business with and getting to know. Actually, on a quality of people scale they outrank most people in Los Angeles. LOL
