Dubai and the UAE - The Big Picture

avinis
By avinis

Guys,
Tomorrow will be the grand opening of the latest addition to the skyline of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Atlantis Palm Resort, with over 1,500 rooms, will be hosting an opening ceremony with celebrities from around the world tomorrow night. The rapid development in Dubai and across the UAE hasn't all been easy lately, as infrastructure problems (handling rising levels of waste to match massive development), and world financial struggles have slowed progress. Wealthy Dubai continues to grow though, in both land area as new islands are built, and in height as new, taller skyscrapers are planned to best the Burj Dubai, already the tallest in the world.

Well if you're so used to raising cattles, you may as well wanna 'feel your own environment' on a plane. LOL

What a change since I first visited in 1978/9.

I was there in 2006 working (based in Abu Dhabi) and would not like to live there. It's a giant builders yard.

Oh, and I thought the Palm Jumeirah, where the Atlantis hotel is, felt sterile and lifeless. Perhaps I just went on a bad day.

Nice pictures. The photos of the Burj Dubai do not do it justice. It is ridiculously tall.
