dubai.isnuts.googlepages.com — Check out this collection of pictures from the most fascinating City in the world. "This is a city on crack" says it all. Almost a quarter of the worlds cranes call this city home. Why not take a look at the under-sea hotel, the old space-port, or the "300 artificially created islands in the shape of the world". Excuse the language on this page.

What else is pretty sick is that they have a water park where most of the slides go up! It's pretty crazy(been there).

"Yeah, but can they attract tourism with the middle east like it is?"Did you know Orlando has some of the worst ghettos in the US?

I find it interesting that The Bin Laden Family has an office building in Dubai.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family</a>

The middle class in america has been bent over the table and fu@k#d up the a$$ for decades. Do they rise up and form a new political party? No, they keep voting for frick or frack. Americans are fat, lazy and stupid and the multinationals are just doing what comes naturally.I'm so pissed off that 1/2 trillion has been wasted in Iraq while taxes on the most wealthy Americans has been drastically cut. I'd sooner vote for hitler than ANY candidate from this perverted system of government. It is pathetic and, for the most part, I'm ashamed to be an American. If other countries had an easier immigration policy I'd certainly consider leaving.

lol my brother lives in dubai and I've been there a couple times so when i look at some of these comments it just proves people have no idea, especially the ones who seemed to have visited.First of all, India is practically beside Dubai, seperated by gulf. Indian is projecting to have more people than China, so what happens when you got a billions of people and not much work? you go VERY poor, like less than $1/day poor. 50% of the people in the world live off $2day (quote from Deepak Chopra seminar ;)). Dubai pays roughly $5/6day. The people working in dubai as labour are mostly if not all Indian who are imported cause they can't find work in India. So they go from $1/day to $5/day. 5x as much! sounds pretty good? may not be that good to pretty much everyone who uses digg but that's still 5x more! you know what's even crazier, they send around 90% of that money back to their family in India, and they live in s**tty apartments like 6 people in 1 bedroom apartment. You konw what's even CRAZIER? They are some of the happiest people i've ever met, very hard to believe. They can build and overpass that takes YEARS in my modern city in a couple MONTHS. Concrete dries very fast over there and they got LOTS of workers for cheap and that equals LOTS of buildings for CHEAP. They've built more in the past 10yrs than most booming cities in america.People talk about the hot weather? I live in Calgary, Canada, we barely get any hot weather but in the summer i dont' have AC in my place so it gets hotter than outside with the windows open and it's 30C in my house. In Dubai everything is AC, so if you go outside you'l be hot, but you konw what? go walk into any place around you and you'll get AC, and what's funny is their AC is fricken cold! lol i have to wear a jacket in the malls practically. At night, you usually have to wear a jacket cause it can get chilly (in the winter months). You go from your AC house into your AC car and you go into AC whatever, so you're always comfortable. in summer yeah it gets hot, but only when you're outside, nto too many places are perfect all year round, so why cry? think like the inuits!They are currently building another indoor ski hill that's suppose to be 5x bigger than the one in the pictures that's already built. So you get yachts mixed with a lil bit of ski hill and it makes a great mix of materialistic culture which i "digg". I'm nto religious so yachts, gold and girls make me happy, indian people seem to be quite happy with just religion over there, especially when a bell goes off 5 times a day and you pray.And for those of you who think of war'n bombs in dubai. Dubai is one fo the safest and drug free places in the world. My brother told me they caught some indians smokin pot and they got like 20yrs in prison. "could be a problem for when i go over there". And a country like Iran has billions invested into Dubai so i highly doubt thy are going to finance or urge one of their groups to bomb a skyscraper they just financed to put up.oh and they ahve the largest gold soulk in the world over there, i got a nice 24k gold ring that weighs 8grams for $150.Anyways, hopes this gives some people a different "perspective" Yes i do realize their human right conditions there are bad and the prince is making changes as he sees this as probably the only negative thing about dubai and he'd obviously want to change.

... are you serious, or did you miss the whole conversation about dubai being design and built for when they run out of oil, to be the biggest tourist attraction on earth.

Just goes to show: anything is possible with misogyny, slavery, and a faith-based government!
