Seems that everybody who was connected to the dream called Dubai is now awakening to see that the $hit has hit the fan.
From rich to very poor, everybody is running like crazy, no looking back. I guess the desert will reclaim the land back in the near future.
Human beings should not fight with nature, nature always wins. If nobody dared to develop the desert in thousands of years, there was a good reason for that and they should not have tried this in XXI century.

Not sure about the human beings fighting with nature bit- all agriculture projects are a fight with nature. The whole of Brtains landscape is a human victory over nature. But I also have friends who are doing just fine in Dubai.

Did you spot the google adds, still encouraging buying in Dubai?
