Wow - that's a tall building

Wow - that's a tall building

RE: Wow - that's a tall building

A storey every three days? Jeez.

I have been to Dubai and have witnessed the development over there first hand, it is absolutely insane.

RE: Wow - that's a tall building

They do not work 8 hour days.

If it is like China, it is 24x7.

I was in the 7 star hotel there. - Unbelievable!!! - Not staying, just a walk in, but I did avoid the $25 "lookers fee".

It seems like they are trying reinvent and out-do the engineering world.

It's amazing what the money we spend on oil will buy!

RE: Wow - that's a tall building

vincentpa,
this is the money we "spent" on oil.  The money we spend  on oil has much more buying power :)

Just gotta get a piece of that Dubai Pie

RE: Wow - that's a tall building

Sorry to say but there is hardly any oil in Dubai. 98% of UAE oil is in Abu Dhabi and rest of it is disributed among 6 of it's states (Duabi is one of them).

RE: Wow - that's a tall building

Iran even imports gasoline.

Generalizations are dangerous, but, "GENERALLY" Dubai likes large projects with engineering to attract people and business. They also use American design firms.
