Has anyone looked at pictures of Dubai? They have some soaring skyscrapers built with questionable taste and architectural styles, surrounded by dirty barren streets. The weather is atrocious 10 months out of the year, and instead of rain storms they have sand storms that sweep across the desert and envelop the skyscrapers in giant clouds of dust and sand.
It's not a very pleasant place to be. Aside from some very limited outdoor amenities like tennis or camel races, or a nice pool or two at a fancy hotel, there will be no serious investment in large scale outdoor recreation in Dubai.
Dubai will continue to build tasteless skyscrapers built on 18 lane wide streets with no trees, but they will never build anything that could even remotely resemble a decent theme park. We should be more concerned about Richard Branson building a theme park on the Moon than we should about Arabs building their version of Fantasyland. :ROFLOL:
