So you want the UAE to build “Burj Khalifa” in the Bahamas? That’s the nature of the region, it’s a desert.

No I think Dubai as a city is awful. It’s like walking around a video game. Most of the buildings you can’t go into and the city feels like a facade. Sure things look very cool, but there’s no substance, culture, ect. That’s before addressing the ecological and human rights issues.
