They are doing all this because they fear their oil will run out so they want to rely on tourism... Even today, only 10% of their revenue comes from oil. And I'd say they have a general commerce strategy that includes all sorts of businesses, rather than just tourism.

Thanks for this post. I am moving to Dubai in a few months with my family for my job. One of my co-workers told me that the hot new thing for expats in Dubai to do is to go to Yemen on vacation. He was serious. I guess soon I will become Cheesehead in Dubai.

I am moving to Dubai in a few months with my family for my job.That should be fun. At least English is widely spoken. I hope you do not get too homesick though.

His genius never fails to amaze me. I bet The Illinois does get built some day.

I hope you do not get too homesick though. It is only for 1 year.

It would be better if it was two years. Because by then you'll get really comfortable in Dubai.

the plans for Dubai are only about half as ambitious as what Wright's plans called for... OK. Yikes!

It would be better if it was two years. Because by then you'll get really comfortable in Dubai and you'll know the area much better.
