Oh No and they only wear Flip Flops , LOL
Dubai is capitalism on steroids. Skyscrapers everywhere, always trying to have the biggest malls and most unique architecture in the world. Indoor ski slopes, undersea aquariums, casinos on the islands of the Palm Jumeirah and other palm developments. They built a modern elevated train system 10 years ago that takes you throughout the city.
They have been planning several apartment towers that rotate so that every apartment has views of the city every day. That would be an engineering feat.
The developers have exploited workers to build everything, and it’s probably not a paradise for them. Contractors pay workers about $200 per month plus room and board, and put them up in labor camps. But most of these workers would make less than $500 PER YEAR in their home countries. So there’s always people willing to take these jobs.
Who needs to ride a camel when there’s so many fine quarter horse in the state?
Over there, that should be in about 10 or 15 minutes.
Using the metric system sure makes things sound bigger.
They have the benefit of no women drivers though
“to bare the brunt”
Yes, I think baring ones brunt is pretty much illegal in all cultures lol
“They openly support Trump’s travel ban”
Are they taking in mid-east refugees?
Is my father who art in heaven sending the Muslim hordes a message? I think so. 8>)
I doubt that they do. But Dubai and Abu Dhabi are not set up to do much for their own people, let alone unemployed refugees. The country has little unemployment. You are either royalty or you have a job.

Not only that, He sometimes crafts every single flake.

all the kids from up north seemed to think we had horses and oil wells....You didn’t? Hell, we had ‘em in PA!
I’d walk a mile not to ride a camel.
There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.
