For all you architecture lovers out there...

Or anyone interested in this Dubai development boom. Take a look at this:

Where is Dubai getting all this money from?! Seriously... I think it's going a little overboard.

Well, a strong Oil industry, tourist attractions, and no taxes will do wonders. :D

Dubai really is a beautiful city, it's the jewel of the Mid East.

thats some major cash they are spending there...............they should help out other less fortunate countries instead of self indulgingLorindol

No. They should definitely self-indulge.

Tens of billions? Hundreds? or maybe even Trillions? What gets me the most is the spaceport....yet there's no place for an average civilian to travel to in space..(so far). And to claim the first spaceport they're going to compete with Virgin Mobile. Are they planning for the first 7/5 star Hotel on the moon? well i guess they would need a spaceport first to launch all the materials up there lol. But seriously What the Hell is going on down there in Dubai, possibly one of the worlds most fastest growing cities (thats wealthy). 5more years and it will be the best oasis ever built by man.

All that stuff is cool, but at least 100 million dollars that they spent could help so many people......maybe I care a tad to much. But I see it as a waste...like when the flower people throw away roses that are still good.....donate that to a retirement home or something, at least someone will get joy out of it.
