Dubai Forums

I have said it elsewhere. Nakheel needs to pay its debts ,along with Dubai. They cannot expect international companies to wait MONTHS for their money. Why on Earth did Emaar and Nakheel EMBARK ON SO MANY HUGE PROJECTS??? T Many of us raised similar questions 2 years back, we were told we were unamb...

What was worrying was the number ofpeople who felt he should be set free because "its his country"

What was worrying was the number ofpeople who felt he should be set free because "its his country" Yeah, I've had that before! got into a bit of an argument with a national, who was driving like a maniac....His response was you should not be on "my" road and either dissappear or...

Nice to see people from the other side of the coin of MB....

Some poster are just using MB as an excuse to vent their hatred and spiteful attitude towards others. Just keep in mind that there are plenty of stereotypes about your country as well.

Nissan cars are reputed for being most stylish and faster than their toyota counterparts. However when it comes to Sunny and Corolla, it surprising how almost all Sunny drivers drive slowly, are Keralites and moustached at that I call them "Sunnymen", and everytime I overtake one of them, ...

The drivers are South Indians, and yes I have been overtaken at 160 kph by a 1.3l Echo, but never a Sunny......

i have never really understood why developers' predictions should be considered by anyone, given that they are liley to be very biased ! I mean when was the last time you heard a developer predicting prices to nto increase? Last October, they were all about how Dubai property market will be the only...

The problem is that when a normal person kills a child or innocent woman or man in a normal country, he is considered a criminal. What happened in Iraq is that soldiers doing the same thing (killing innocents) are considered heroes inspite of the fact that they are nothing more than criminals . That...

So they killed innocent people like cowards, and now they want a welcome for being murderers? Some people have a screwed up way of thinking.....

The article sounds like a satirical piece from the Onion... particualrly the bit about Dubai being "pretty", and people being jealous of its success. Would it haev hurt to say "Yes, there are economic problems, but we will get over them" rather than the current quotes which sound...

Got flashed days back on SZR doing 130kph at 2 am; staying under 120 in 6 lane SZR seems like the toughest thing to do specially when its late and near deserted....

Reduice it by means.

But some of Dubai's actions are: "to deny the problem exists at all,"

Prices are as high or even higher than first world properties

Build quality is lower

Labor is much much cheaper

So where does the difference go? Probably to developers, where senior employees feel they are entitled to a 911, a Cayenne and a 745i at the same time !

The radars flash at 121+ till the end of Dubai Marina.
When you see the first sign saying the speed limit is 120, they flash at 139+

So we can beat the system by hiring Mallus to get black points on their licences ?

Or did they agree to it for free (or maybe a complimentary coconut did the trick?)

There is a reason why there are so many doom and gloom articles about Dubai. Its because the official versions or PR Releases cover the other extreme, i.e. deny there are any problems and insist its boom time as usual. Throughout the world, retailers have been trying to attract consumers by price re...

Daytime remperatures range from

27-33 in March

30-36 in April
34-39 in May

38-45 from June through August....

Thats the main issue; people abusing their powers . If it was a level playing field, more of us could try not giving way to these morons. But when people abuse their powers/authority, it makes sense to be safe than sorry....

The situation can be decribed very simply; 1) There is nothing grossly wrong if a destitute worker is willing to share a room with 10 people and work for peanuts 2) What is wrong is when a worker comes here and finds out he is getting half of what he was told or signed on, and then he is not allowed...

It would be better if you took a class in logic/analytical thinking before posting this topic ! You are accusing BBC/media of covering up human rights abuses in tHE UK (.....we never get to hear about them...) And yet your reference is a report by the BBC. So you are accusing people of covering such...

Rudeboy, this is a "Dubai Forum" so its definitely right that you will read good/bad stuff about Dubai here. If are interested about s*** happenning in Canada, I am sure there are plenty of Canadian forums out there!

And finally before coming to the UAE, people know the deal....They accept the conditions and willingly come. This one line proves you didnt read the article... The laborer interviewed was told after arrival he would have to work 12 hours in the desert (contrary to what he was told initially).... Wh...

This article is damning in certain respects but antipodises the positive aspects recently expounded in a huge PR puff by British journalist Piers Morgan. Well said. I didnt see Dubai fanboys compalining about the documentary even though it was nauseatingly brown nosing about Dubai..... The article ...

I'd take Linda Heard's articles with a touch of salt; she is very pro-Dubai/Saudis....probably because she gets her paycheck from there... Some of her quotes are extremely sycophantic, particularly the bit below: "When I finally moved to Dubai in 1983, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I e...

As biased an article as the Hari one....

They definitely wouldnt publish any comments that were negative.

Why is it that people either bash everything about Dubai or else praise it to the sky?

Whats also funny is that most people who praise Dubai go on like: "Dubai is great, I have a huge villa, and 3 cars, couldnt have that back home, so Dubai is excellent for all"... Hmm, if you work in an oil company in Sudan, you can live like a king, but that doesnt mean Sudan is excelent t...

3...2...1 before someone tries to divert the topic by saying, "UK did so and so.." or "France did something worse...."

Porto 1 Man Utd 2

Arsenal 2 Villareal 1

Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2

Bayern 1 Barcelona 1

Misery, there is a point where humanity has to take precedence over "rules".
