They certainly do now! Dubai flourished while Lebanon fell victim to civil war, Hezbollah and Syria.
Been to Dubai several times. Loved the place!
It's great down there. It's a quick weekend getaway for us!
Haven't stayed at the Burj, too rich for our blood, but I'm gonna get there one day! Maybe when we leave the Middle East for good, we'll splurge on a night!
Or we can go to the "real" Las Vegas and get a much better deal...
