Dubai
Hi all.
Watched a program in discovery a while ago about the building of the Palm Jumeriah, Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Deira and The World Islands off the coast of Dubai. Ever since i have been following the progress online.
Thought this might be of interest to some people.

Amazing country is the UAE especially Dubai - vastly different to the other Arab and Islamic countries I have visited. Kuwait would have been very similar if not for the Iraqi invasion.

Will certainly be going out for a holiday.
Will probably wait for 5-10 year until a lot of the building work is complete and my kids are a bit older.
Looks like its going to be some place to visit.

Ive heard many stories from my road traffic accident lecturer. He went over there to work. Most stories involve camels

The camels usually end up being convicted for speeding and jumping red lights :)
In Egypt most traffic accidents can be attributed to donkeys.

One thing I dont like is that too little is given to green space - unless its a golf course. The place sadly lacks parks and gardens and has very few public beaches.
