I lived in Dubai for a year (2006-2007) and I still go there every 2-3 weeks on business. Dubai is definitely the place to be. It is as expensive as Doha, but atleast there are a million things to do, social life is amazing, they have a proper infrastructure in place, things happen in Dubai, unlike Doha. The d-ring and industrial roundabout have been closed for a very long time here. In the same time, Dubai has built roads, bridges and highways to wrap Doha several times over. Construction boom in Doha? You got to be kidding! Check out the real boom in Dubai. Career opportunities? Dubai of course. Lifestyle and going out? Dubai. Having fun? Dubai. Driving? Dubai of course. Everything else? Dubai.

So why am I here? Not for long... as soon as I can, I am moving back.
