Burj Dubai Fountains

On the first Saturday I was there, I read in the news that people living in Dubai had a rare opportunity to see the fountains during the day.

I didn't have the chance to visit these fountains, because my trip to Dubai were limited to driving through Zaid street and downtown.

Enjoy

Dubai Metro

This is a long view of Dubai metro, the longest fully automated rail system in the world. It will open on 9 September 2009.

It reminds me of a view from the futuristic sci-fi movie metropolis

Sick

The Telegraph newspaper in the UK reported yesterday that a British tourist has been sentenced to six months in jail after being caught taking pictures up women's skirts in a shopping mall, using his mobile phone. The man would likely to be deported after serving his sentence. The man was on vacation to visit some fellow brits living there, and he was planning to find a job there.

According to the Telegraph this sentence "is believed to reflect the tough stance authorities in the Muslim emirate are taking on antisocial behaviour". True! antisocial behaviour should not be tolerated, it has nothing to do with religion, or branding this country as being muslim or jewish and based on the religion of the country there would harder sentence or not. Sick people like this man who walk around and take pictures up women's skirts in shopping malls must be locked out behind bars for years, simply because they should not be let out and poison soeciety with their behaviour. They should learn somethings like manners, social and moral attitude.

More Malls In Dubai

People in Dubai and in the United Arab Emirates generally started to feel the heat coming from the increase in goods and services prices in that country. The prices of essential goods like food, drinks became the worrying factors for many immigrants coming from Arab countries - in addition to the already-known rise in rent and properties prices. I read a very interesting article today about plans to build more shopping malls in Dubai to satisfy customer needs. According to the article, Dubai is a shopping paradise, and support the idea of making Dubai has the capacity to have more malls. I might agree with the point that Dubai, the whole country of Arab Emirates needs more indoor activity because of the extremely bleeding-hot weather, especially if the country has a lot of money to support this idea. On other hand, would having more demand on such places would flourish commerce more and more than ever, and that would make prices of goods and services to get lower and more acceptable to the consumer?

Or is it too late?
