I went there as side trip last Nov to celebrate Eid al Adha with some friends who are living in Sharjah (a close municipality to Dubai) and I have to say, as an American, I was not impressed. The exploitation of South Asians there is incredible...and the countless stories of the local populace and their abuse of servants is horrible. Although, not everyone there is is like that......eventually, like all great things, it must come to an end....and without any fiscal responsibility and innovation, a society will fail. With all that money, I wouldve thought the best way to invest it would be to research innovative ways to create new sources of energy for mankind....instead, they have opted to build the tallest toothpick, and collect accolades on that. What a waste of resources.
