    Hi all,

    i was reading recently about the Burj Al-arab hotel (that crazy sail-shaped structure on a miniature island off the coast of dubai). there have recently been lots of pics of it relating to tiger woods hitting golf balls off of it and a tennis match (agassi and federer).. and also, the first pics of that yellow 430 spider were from dubai.

    anyway, does anyone here live in Dubai or visit extensively? any cool stories? seems like a very interesting place, and i'd love to visit it one day.

    Try and contact ryalex. I believe he has a friend that is working in Dubai right now and has some cool stories to share.

    I want to visit. They have some exciting new developments...

    http://www.burjdubai.com/ - the tower is supposed to be large than the Freedom tower is gonna be...

    http://www.thepalm.co.ae/ -the eighth wonder of the world :)

    Cool place, I'd like to buy a vacation home there in the future. Can't wait to see all the interesting things they can use to replace the sand. :D

    Dubai seems to be the "Monte Carlo" of the Middle East. They host a lot of "premier" events-and like Monaco, it's a "rich playground".
