Dubai is an amazing city. It Has One of the Most Diverse Populations in the World About 90% of the population in the entire UAE are expats and immigrants and most of these people live in Dubai. Combine that with the fact that there are about 70% more foreigners to locals and that makes it an incredibly diverse population.

Statistics show that 15% of the people in Dubai comprise locals, while foreigners represent the other 85% of the population. Most of the expatriates are from Sri Lanka and the Indian subcontinent.

If you think you have seen tall and beautiful buildings, then you need to visit Dubai. The towering skyscrapers are among the leading tourist attractions in the city. At times, you’ll feel as if you are above the sky.

The Dubai fountain mostly dances to tunes at night, creating a dazzling display of movement and lights in the water. If you visit this fountain, you are bound to be entertained.

The magnificent structures in this city have made it known across the globe as one of the favorite tourist destinations for many.

More Than ⅓ of the Burj Khalifa is Uninhabitable While the Burj Khalifa is one of the most interesting buildings in the world as the tallest building in the world, much of it is actually not fit for living. Only 160 floors of the 830 meter high building are actually habitable.The other 29% of the building is actually so thin that it cannot be a realistically livable space. They designed and crafted the building to be one of the most impressive buildings in the world. Livability was not the main concern of the project.

Dubai is also home to the tallest 4 and 5 star hotels in the world. Gevora stands at 356 meters tall as the tallest 4 star hotel and the JW Marriott Marquis is 355 meters tall as the tallest 5 star hotel. For perspective, 356 meters is about a quarter of a mile high and this is still a whole 500 meters shorter than the Burj Khalifa.

If you’re interested in seeing the bones of something that roamed the earth 155 million years ago, Dubai is the place to go. The Dubai Dino is proudly on display on display in the Dubai mall.What makes this fossil unique is not just the sheer size of the dinosaur, but the fact that almost all of the bones are intact. This is one of the only dinosaur fossils in the world with this many bones intact.

This man seems to be having a good time with his lioness. They are spending quality time next to a very expensive Ferrari, just kissing and bonding. The pet lioness is enjoying the interaction just as much as your dog enjoys getting pet and played with.

While this man doesn’t seem to have any fear of the cheetah, at the end of the day they are still wild animals with their own jungle instincts.

Robots racing on the camel must be quite interesting to watch. The owners are just relaxing safely in the stands watching the race unfold. These robots are super programmed for camel racing.

All across the city, there are refrigerators with food at strategic places. The less fortunate do not sleep hungry in this city. Most interestingly, the people who offer to donate don’t do it cheaply; they give good and expensive food they use for their families.

Beautiful pictures.

foreigners represent the other 85% of the population

They're the ones who do most of the work, including the construction of those buildings. Most from South Asia and Southeast Asia. Dubai is well worth visiting, it's an amazing place.

[libh8er]

Dubai is ok. I like Singapore better.

[dforest]

Um, great pics. Is this the Dubai travel bureau? LOL

There are two types of expats in Dubai - Third World types who do the hard labor, and wealthy Western types who are there to make money. Both groups, understand that the legal system in Dubai is basically Sharia-level harshness and they cannot vote to make it ‘kinder and gentler’.

So guess what - you also have one of the SAFEST cities in the would.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Masters and their slaves.

Are the ‘expats’ in control of their own passports... or are they held by the masters.

[JudyinCanada]

Quite amazing to look at, and lots of money, but I’ll take the farm any day lol. Stunning buildings, though.

I am finding this statement VERY difficult to believe:

“The average water consumption per person per day is about 550 liters.”

Between drinking water and urinating, that city would have had nobody available to build it. I would even find 55 liters a bit of a stretch. Maybe 5.5 would be more like it!

[libh8er]

(For location and greenery)

Why do I get the feeling they’re not too worried about their carbon footprint?

[cgbg]

Yup—you gotta wonder what they do to “climate protesters”—would be fun to watch.

[dragnet2]

That makes America’s major cities look like complete ghettos.

[entropy12]

Yes, there is practically no crime in Dubai. The workers value their jobs so much, they dare not commit mischief/crime and be banned for life. Similar situation exists in Singapore, where 33% of work force is foreigners.
Arabs & Hindu’s & Buddhists get along without fights. Cruise ships are also famous for no petty crime. I have on occasion forgotten to put my wallet or rings in the safe, but the room steward did not touch them. Jobs on ship pay far more than the workers earn in their country, and they get banned for life if caught stealing.

UAE can afford desalinization plants.

The buildings were interesting, but I thought Dubai was kind of boring. It lacked that first floor feeling like you get in Paris with cafes and shops. Its a driving city. The only interesting parts was the huge souk that was spectacular and dune bashing. Even the beaches were super hot, no shade and not very pretty.

[unixfox]

Dubai wasn’t built on “green energy.”

[CaptainK]

Look what Petro wealth can do for a country.

[cgbg]

This is what a planet without leftists could look like...

[texas booster]

Robots racing on the camel must be quite interesting to watch.

Why robots? Because of cheating and child slaves in the past.

Camel racing has been around for thousands of years. "The Sport of Sheiks" almost exclusively used small children, usually boys around the age of four, to ride and direct the camels. Often, the boys would be starved to be as light as possible. Many of the boys used for the races were often sold to race organizers or camel owners, and there was an active child slave trade for camel jockeys, involving victims of kidnapping or the children of destitute families who sold them into servitude
