they do not build to last. As with a lot of things in the Arab world, it's all for show. Flash, but no substance.
Do not ever expect the projects they announce in the newspapers to happen in the time frame they say. They announce projects before they do feasability studies. They have had to put some projects on indefinite hold. (mall roundabout flyover is one example) Sometimes they even realize they have to wait for certain projects to be done before starting another one. That is why D ring road has been not been passable all the way through for 7 years now. With no end in sight I might say. I don't think the various agencies here ever talk to each other until something becomes a crisis. Messes it up for the rest of us.
