I can’t wait for dubai to run out of money and the islamic nut job filth that lives there go feral and start burning and pillaging...

Remember when Lebanon used to be the “Paris of the Middle east”

Someday so will Dubai be remembered as that after it falls....

I guess instead of hiring a pool-boy they’ll be hiring window washers/scrubbers to keep the barnacles and other crap from growing on their windows.

“Who is going to clean the windows?”

Live snails with some kind of “snail trap” would be great

I’ve occasionally wondered if the UAE, which includes Dubai, might not qualify for Babylon the Great? It certainly would merit some of the merchant’s lament taken up over its fall.

Imagine waking up one morning in that bedroom, turning on the lights and seeing either a huge shark with it’s nose up against the window or a huge octopus spread out against the window..........Or worse yet, a big crack in it......LOL!

Until Dubai is no longer Mohammedan, I will keep my money right here in the U.S. of A.

Sure looks like a houseboat to me, though I don't think many houseboats have the underwater living quarters like these do. Could be wrong, LOL.

Where does the fresh water needed for showering, drinking and washing come from? What about electricity?

Are these built with slave labor like everything else over there?

So, do they have a dry dock where these things can be cleaned and serviced?

Not quite. But it is far more liberal than the Kingdom or even Bahrain for that matter.
