Muscat v Dubai: who will win!?


boomtown We all know Godzilla v King Kong, Chocolate v Coffee, Dog v Cat, Sleep v Fun, Paris Hilton v Good Taste and Decency. But I want to know whether you guys think Dubai or Muscat is better and why. I will start with 1 point for Muscat - cheaper rent!
iceman Muscat: Not an artificial city, less traffic, better weather :lol: westside dubai is a great city many sites 2 be seen n u can have a good night out wit ur friends in dubai what do ppl have in muscat except chewing sand and drinking salt water Jamal the niggas in muscat got the weed / hash hands down muscat's already won it for me jst for havin that in abundance an cheap street value ... an there is hardly any snitches in muscat .. unlike dubai . nosoup4u I was born in Muscat and always made frequent trips to Dubai so here's what I know.
Muscat:

PROS:
1. Like Ft. Lauderdale in florida, retirement City
2. Quiet and Simple
3. Traffic is much less than Dubai
4. Slow paced and relaxed life
5. Cheaper in everyway to Dubai
6. Better Wadi bashing
7. This piggy-backs on point 5 but Cars are way cheaper and better deals.
CONS:
1. Shopping is Dead
2. Activities are a minimal
3. No Freehold (besides The Wave and Blue City which will take a billion years to build since its so slow there. They've already held lotteries and people are buying but there's not even a BullDozer on the damn Wave yet commencing the project)
4. Things are so slow its a miracle if you can get a bank account opened in one day or your car registered in a day.

Dubai:

PROS
1. Shopping is Abundant
2. Variety in everything
3. Freehold properties are coming up like crazy
4. Too many activities to keep you busy
5. You can get thhings done faster in Dubai than in Muscat such as registering a vehicle, opening a bank account :P
CONS
1. Cost of living is high and everything is way over priced.
2. Nosiy and Complicated
3. Construction everywhere screws up traffic
4. Bad city planning when it comes to easing congestion on roads
5. Wadi bashing places not so much
6. Traffic is insane
7. Buying a car is more expensive and the deals suck.
