Dubai is what Beirut should have been.

Of course, we have the wrong kind of durkas flooding Lebanon, so Dubai become swizterland of the east.

Also, bubble, without a doubt. In a few years prices will be realistic.

dubai is a shitty place floating on oil. That's what you get when you still have a monarchy who jerks off to tall buildings.

Lived there for about 2 years with my family. During the major economic boom. Long story short my family got rich.

That looks like such a crappy hotel.

Yeah, from what I hear Dubai's services are really shitty. It's sort of like how the japanese just spend all the time without a care in the world to extend their epeen but fail miserably.

dubai's gdp is based on investment from oil money.

dubai has practically no oil itself, it just sucks in the oil money.

Based on oil money != dependent on oil money

The city was 'funded' on oil, but now that their oil reserves are almost empty, services and trade has by far taken over as the largest contributor to the economy.

they are completely dependent on oil money investment, if it were to disappear tomorrow dubai would crash hard.

plus they hire western firms for all their projects, they are not cultivating their own sectors.

the palm islands are made by a belgian and dutch firm. paid for by oil money invested in real estate development.

that is what they are trying to do

to have something generating money when they run out of oil, but yeah they are still pretty much running on oil

On the plus side, Dubai is escaping the stereotype that Middle Easterners are nothing but bloodthirsty fundies who live in caves.

On the negative side, they fit the "flashy opulence" stereotype to a tee.

instead of living in caves they live in highrises.

but they are still an islamic monarchy, though they mostly look the other way culturally... unlike the saudis or iranians etc.

i mean dubai has beaches where foreigners show up in bikinis, and aren't stoned to death.
