The Biggest Story in the World — Dubai – home of the world’s largest construction site and one of the most amazing stories in our world today. Connect me on Facebook! www.facebook.com While millions flock to Dubai annually, from an American perspective it’s “the Middle East we don’t know”. Still surrounded in misunderstanding by so many in the US, the massively positive story of Dubai and Middle East 2.0 is the real story of change in the Gulf. It is a story of peaceful, constructive excellence and the pursuit of dreams. A story very much in line with true American values. Dubai is a city in the emirate of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE in the Persian Gulf. The UAE is part of the GCC, Gulf Cooperative Council, an economic group of nations along the lines of the European Union (EU). The GCC includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The growth in Dubai is representative of the growth in the region. While many in America associate the Arab world, the Middle East, the Gulf or sadly Islam and Muslims with terror and terrorism, war and violence, the real story of the Middle East is what is going on with construction, commerce, art, development and millions of people making a better life for themselves.

I wonder what they expect the return on investment to be. Unless they have cheap plane tickets I won’t be going there. I’d rather see a place with a long history. I can go to a beach anywhere. The island shapes are cool but i’m fine with pictures
@jkalama95 As I said, it was a reply.
And I’m not saying EVERYone gets paid 150 USD. It’s around that.
ummmm my friend left Australia (The most livable country in the world) to go to dubai because his father is a migrant worker, and now he’s getting $420,000 a year because he moved to dubai, shows that YOU don’t lie… *sarcasm*
just spend a week in dubai and I love Dubai for its nice people, its old souks, the stunning Burj Al Arab, the amazing modern architecture and I will definitely visit the city in about 10 years, perhaps then it will be “finished” (will it ever be “finished”?).
i dont like hot place…
this seems to burn!!
@PrincessDubai

I hate it when some people criticize others for stupid things.
It was a reply to a comment I know it’s not slave labour. It was a reply.
dubai is 1 of the best contries ppl from UAE are good in making bisness but making towers and hotels NO these are the indians and bungalies and if u think there slaves YOUR WRONGE these ppl probably cant even get a job so some make buildings and some work in grosary stores but there are lucky if u ask me cuse basicly they have no job so without UAE ppl they will poor ppl beging for money and u will hardly find in UAE ppl beging honestly im from dubai and i just found 1 person beging in my life.
slaves? they came here by their own will, and they get more than they would ever earn in their home. and beside the government has forced strict laws on companies to ensure the safety of workers.
yes they did a mistake before, but now it’s fixed, give this 40 years old country a break!
Heeheehee slave labour…
Migrant workers build this with 150 USD a month.
@PrincessDubai Why would we be jealous? I think it’s awesome! Someday I would hope to go there, but you need to look at where the engineers are coming from, they are from all over the world! It is the whole world, working to build these incredible structures
Thank you 1976. Those people are just jaleous to see Arabs conquering the sky while they are still far away from this level of technology and greatness ! GO UAE GO !
Women have more rights and protection in Dubai than anywhere else. Just open your eyes and stop saying things that you have no idea about … Respect to herself means no freedom ? You thing that a mini skirt and a bitchy fashion style is a proof of rights and liberty ?
They are doing tehir best to go beyond their limits by taking risks … which is not the case of the idiots who keeps judging and insulting the rest of the world coz of their stupid ethnocentrist mentality
Thank you 1976jasse, those people are just jaleous to see Arabs reaching the sky … GO UAE GO !
how can someone live in place where women have no rights/freedom and hide under stupid clothes?
