Default The Dubai Dichotomy

A well written article from the Washington Post. It is refreshing to see an unbiased view of what this place is all about. For your information.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...901457_pf.html

Would post the entire article but unfortunately the number of words is longer than this website allows.

A great article on Dubai was run in the June "Vanity Fair". Over 20 pages worth of reading. If you are looking for the mag in a library, it has Anderson Cooper on the front. The name of the article is "Dubai's the Limit". A quote from the article "Las Vegas is a sputtering 20-watt bulb compared with this fire in the desert." Another, "there is no architectural rhyme. This is a skyline on crack." Article covers everything from "guest" workers plight to what a night at Cyclone might cost you. Enjoy.
