The most impressive thing about Dubai’s giant artificial island isn’t its sizeβ€”it’s the ambition of creating an entirely new piece of land in the sea, only to see much of it remain empty. It raises an interesting question: can engineering success still be called a success if the vision behind it never fully materializes?

Dubai is a total hellhole. No culture, no ambiance, nothing, ... Just nearly all high rise buildings and roads, nothing else. Italy, France, Switzerland, ... have class. Dubai has zero class.

Let me tell you about Dubai. It’s hot as hell, humid, and dusty. During the hottest part of the day, you won’t see a single soul out in the open. Personally, I wouldn’t buy property there or move there to live.

It is basically the world&#39;s capital of CORRUPTION and BLACK MONEY to be filtered through here, legally turned into legit tangible wealth such as investment and property, where the people can continue enjoy such immense wealth so easily and comfortably without any possible legal liability or criminal investigation against them as Dubai provides such shield as the safety net to protect these ultra rich people&#39;s, wealth.<br><br>Dubai definitely is smart in allowing so much hot money to flow into its financial institutions, then being converted into whatever they are intended for, Dubai gains global status and influence as financial capital, sucking in hundreds of millions of income nice and free and easily by providing the safest and most secure location for the super rich to continue favoring here as their playground and underground of insidious activities. <br><br>Do u think these multi-millionaires care so much about their pricey property sinking or not? NO! First, it is not the kind of money they would sweat over it. Second, through it, they get to enjoy something even greater by huge margin through the corrupt funds. Also, their properties would be covered by insurance companies anyway, so, what they need is great reason to spend the kind of money, disposing it for better conversion and flexibility.<br><br>Talk about hypocrisy and deception, Dubai certainly knows best!

Construction of the Palm Jumeirah destroyed the single known natural coral reef off the coast of Dubai. Marine scientists and groups like the World Wildlife Fund did not record an exact numerical count of individual reefs, but reported that the entire local nearshore reef system and surrounding oyster beds at the project site were buried and suffocated by dredged sediment.

I met a traveller from an antique land
<br>Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
<br>Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
<br>Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
<br>And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
<br>Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
<br>Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
<br>The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
<br>And on the pedestal these words appear:
<br>&quot;My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
<br>Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!&quot;
<br>No thing beside remains. Round the decay
<br>Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

Especially a country with a climate where you can&#39;t go out 6 months out of the year due to unbearable heat and horrible pollution due to lack of rain...
