Harry Potter lived in the cupboard under the stairs....he was lucky to be in his aunt's house

Maybe even earlier, let's say in the early seventies.
If you check the details on the bigger image neither Jumeirah houses are exsistent nor the villas behind the Trade Center on the smaller pictures

In both cases it's a speculation in promotion atempt (promoting the fast development of Dubai)

The Crown Plaza opened in the first quarter of 1994, but there are already between 10 to 20 buildings from the same side of the road, not so deserted as in the picture.

To second Sge&... and regarding: "Without oil Dubai would still be a fisher- and pearl-diver-village Of course there is courage and vision now, but the source of all that wealth is oil and maybe also gas.'' Dubai has never had much oil, but in the last 15 years the income of it is around 10...

Maybe I didn't express my self properly. Advertisement (worldwide) and promotions are behind the worldwide popularity of Dubai in the last 10-12 years. The Government strategy is to attract foreign investments: DSF, FZs, Freehold etc. Remember the Dubai Ports deal and all the noise around it?? Or th...

But before the recent boom of few years and before 1994, Dubai was unknown name worldwide. Nothing remarkable was here to comment - town as every other one with ordinary business activities.

The 79th Oscar Academy awards nominees were announced yesterday, but the finals are set for 25th of February . The musical "Dreamgirls" got eight nominations, but surprisingly was shut out in the best picture category after being considered a potential front-runner. The "Babel" d...

Yep, Meryl Streep - two-time Oscar winner , padding her record as the most-nominated actor ever, this time as a demonically demanding boss in "The Devil Wears Prada.

I'm reposting this from the British Expats forum... with a bit of luck, it'll give heart to people whose landlords are trying to evict them to get around the new rent laws. The guy in question lives in the Springs; don't ask why he's only paying 67K for a 2-bed villa - it's a long story! I'll try to...

An expected 25% drop in Dubai property prices in 2008 could hit UAE bourses as early as the fourth quarter of this year and stocks could yield most of their gains from a mid-year rally. Stock markets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are poised to gain up to 25% from current levels to a third-quarter peak afte...

Actually it is quite popular between the Arab women. It has been praticed since ages.
Q 1: Yes, depends on the circles - divorced, returned or worce in some nearby countries.
Q 2: Strange law.

Love in the Arab world is different.

As I wrote : Love in the Arab world is different and much more materialistic than any Christian mind can imagine. The Muslim lovers are providers as it is written in the book and therefore expect women to obey them. Sadly the book was written 14 centuries ago. Now adays some not so conservative indi...

Men are the biggest hypocrites of all. They go to the bars, pick up half naked Moroccan, Lebanese or Russians and have fun. Often sleeping out of their homes and leaving their wives and kids frustrated for their future. Often men spend bigger portions of their income on the above mentioned loose wom...

I am in related business and can brief you that middle class girls are traded to middle class husbands between 80 k to 120 k. If the family is highly positioned and the girl is rich or will inherit - that's another story. I doubt that most of the posters here are in the right category of husbands. A...

Most of "your" women never really enjoy, but pretend to please you. They know how to find the time and place to enjoy with another person.

So: TAKE HER AS SHE IS, if you love her and make her love you, all will be fine!

Boys will be Boys forever!
Their brain functions usually develop above 30 or 35, then they enter into middle age crisis.....

I wonder how nobody has reported this to Etisalat already....

Is it only my wording that you disagree???? Or the point of view?? Culture any where in the world is strongly influenced by religion. That's why some celebrate Christmas and some Eid. But the culture in all the Arab countries is different due to economic circumstances, while the religion remains the...

Men make the women like that. The religion allows them to marry 4 wives at the moment. Moreover the divorce is very easy and simple. It takes to say 3 times "I divorce you" in front of two witnesses (who can be his drinking buddies). Eventually second divorce will follow and she is left on...

Men make the women like that. The religion allows them to marry 4 wives at the moment. And if not at the moment, they remarry more often then usual (some 6 to 10 times). Moreover the divorce is very easy and simple. It takes to say 3 times "I divorce you" in front of two witnesses (who ca...

Bear, my "very corrupt understanding of how women are viewed in Islam and of Islam as a whole'' is very strongly influenced by the reality that we face daily trough personal experience, mass media, relatives/family stories and all sorts of social interactions. Yes, the book says that all the wi...
