One of two things i watch from that region (the other is the Dubai Jiujitsu open).

The horses are just magnificent.

Roses in May will take the Dubai World Cup. I made some nice pocket change in Saratoga with this horse. He went off 8-1 on that day but will probably be the chalk today.

I've been to Dubai a number of times. It's a nice place, more open to foreigners than most of the Middle East. I think on the Conservative-Liberal balance scale, it is the Arab equivalent to Kalifornia. They even have a (gasp!) Hard Rock Cafe!
