Dubai and Globalization

[niholo]

I like the music.

[mustaffamoustachaa]

It was interesting that the Dubai giv. Although being the maun shareholder in the constructiin co., actually refused to act as guarantor to the co.,

Thus unable to repay the 68 billion to the Uk.

I'm sure i read that they refinanced it at 80%, but then refused to sign it off, the Uk having a 20% haircut.

What i mean is, Uk tax-payer money is funding a fair chunk of this bullshyte fake plastic serviced island

[nicholeddy29]

so much wealthiness at the expense of the misery of the world.

that's what we have become , we value confort and gold, and take family and friends for granted, what would the fathers that build nations for us to be free, would think if they see the world we live in and believe to be real.

[nicholeddy29]

right right dubai-''great rulers who provide great jobs with great salaries with which I can buy a great house on great street with great stores that I get to in a great car, wearing great clothes.

All with great air-conditioning systems!'' pepachar.

its funny how people see this material city, but they dont see that globalized work comes from the work of globalized money that its been taken away from thirld world countries like mine, i live in america now but i see how this is falling apart

[sharper07]

Dubai sucks!

[shallenlynn]

The barefooted bedouins competing in building tall buildings.

[yonisfarah]

This is one of the signs our Prophet (peace be upon him) predicted by the will of Allah The barefooted bedouins competing in building tall buildings. Today we find in the Arabian Peninsula, the Arabs who used to be impoverished herders of camels and sheep, are competing in building the tallest tower blocks.

[yonisfarah]

It hurts for me to see this. How could these so called Muslims waste so much money on these lavish luxuries while our Muslim brothers and Sisters are dying of famine around the world. Noticed Thomas L. Friedman who is by the way a Jew praises these hypocrites as a model for all Muslims.

[Thesolve]

Haha - Pork Shop "for non muslims" Just to be political correct. ;)

People have problems...

[stoneycartoon]

most of the world hates America yet they want to be like us, fuckin haters

[Twentysixbillion]

Nah man, no one wants to be like you when its so dangerous to walk down the street, its like its everyone for themselves. We dont want to be like you we just hate you, you all think your so good, I live in a very very peacefull country, and I wouldnt trade it for anything. You have good fashion etc we like that, but thats all. Why dont you go shoot someone

[Daltonn0810]

your idea of the current level of crime in the united states is wrong. yes every country has its bad spots with gangs and violence but even in America those areas are few and far between

[stoneycartoon]

go buy some haterade it gonna be ok mate ha ha....

[pambalina]

@stoneycartoon

haha trust me nobody wants to be like u guys !!! and the things they have in dubai, america doesnt! so why would they want to be like america

[stoneycartoon]

@pambalina what oil and sand, u got me there. lol

[Twentysixbillion]

It's typical of an american to think everyone wants to be like them, 20 years ago mate yeah, but no-one envy's you anymore

[porkinmycorkhole]

Order your civilisation today and receive a free pen!!

[AWOACreative]

The devil has got them... oh dear... this is bad news for all of us!

[Nonamearisto]

Dubai's buildings bought them $ 100 BILLION in debt and a collapsed economy. All of that construction, including the world's tallest building, were nothing more than vanity projects which could only be sustained under the now-gone real-estate bubble. A similar thing happened to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur in the 1990's... only, those countries have actual land are in them... with REAL resources... the UAE has oil, but that is not enough...

[louiethegreater]

they don't have oil, tourism is their biggest industry.

[Nonamearisto]

That's a lie. They certainly DO have oil. It subsidizes everything.

[louiethegreater]

You are right Nonamearisto, I made a mistake. Tourism is growing at a rate to soon exceed their oil and natural gas industries.

[Nonamearisto]

It isn't growing at all anymore! Dubai is ruined. It only grew as it did because of the anything-goes investment atmosphere of the recent bust. Just read about the abandoned construction cranes... or the migrant workers leaving at a rate of 5000 a DAY.

[khalid6591]

Dubai is a big money sink hole stay away from this city many people lost thier money there don,t trust what the media .

[MutantKnight]

At least try to complete your sentence man :D

I mean, I get your point. People lost their money everywhere, from Wall Street to Khalifa Street in UAE.

[dadecountyhustler305]

good for Dubai and shame on all these haters here dissing them cause there jealous. There crazy ass neighbors should take note of this.

How dare Dubai grow and florish lol

[deadman2121]

Fuck all this neo-liberal bullshit please. Fuck; nice buildings and lots of foreign capital doesn't mean the population is getting any better....pffffff get your heads out of the sand}

[PepaChar]

Who lives in those nice buildings? Or would you rather people live in caves, huts or tents? Who works in those buildings? Better yet, who worked those buildings? Workers, right? For a salary that they wouldn't have otherwise, right? Why don't you get your head out of the sand of cynicism yourself? pffff, another Canadian with unrealistic expectations and demands, who benefits from what others have done in his own country to offer him what he enjoys today!

[Requiredfields2]

Take a country and turn it into Disneyland. Now that's progress! Advertise your blatant and pointless greed to the rest of the world. Show them how souless and shallow you really are. Indonesia and dozens of other third world countries know exactly what globalization is. Dubai, you aren't fooling anyone but yourself and those with dollar signs in their eyes!

[PepaChar]

Dubai did globalization, successfully.

Indonesia tried globalization, unsucessfully.

I'd rather live in Dubai/Disneyland.

That's what I study, work hard and vote for: great rulers who provide great jobs with great salaries with which I can buy a great house on great street with great stores that I get to in a great car, wearing great clothes.

All with great air-conditioning systems!

[amnesiaguess]

@PepaChar yay live a rich life while other ppl suffer ! what a dream ay

[PepaChar]

China - Really? How?

[MutantKnight]

Your economic view does not qualify for the current global affairs

[UTuberSandwich]

2008 America is this: Its an economic party that the world wants in on and the Clinton/Bush administrations made it happen. Singapore and China own a sizeable amount of our Financial Powerhouses. Merrill Lynch is one. Dig in and do some research. America is being sold off piece by piece. Dubai is the place to be right now. even Tiger Woods own's land and has played in Dubai. American's will soon be lookin like Sudan in say 2025. How you think the continent of Africa got the way it is today?

[MutantKnight]

That's an extreme economic point of view with a probability of the events you stated to be less than 2%.

I don't think America will be like Africa as long there is the Rule of Law that unfortunately some countries, including the UAE, do not posses.

[PepaChar]

UTuber - America is not being sold off piece by piece. US-based corporations dont belong to America the nation (that would be communism), and are free to take on foreign shareholders irrespective of their nationality. Finally, I am interested to know your perspective on how Africa got the way it is today, and how that relates to current events in the USA.

[MutantKnight]

Well, it seems the economic rescue plan is now in control of corporations through regulation (I hope for the best) :)

[PepaChar]

Well, I guess things move fast. One moment it seems, the next moment it doesn't. First, it was a purchase of distressed assets. Now, it's a capital injection that makes the government a shareholder in the corporations (with some influence, depending on the % of ownership, but not necessarily control). Where do you think things are going, Mutant? :)

[MutantKnight]

My forecast is that the economic condition is going to worsen a bit more until the cycle of growth initiates. Personally, given that the trickle down effect is biased, it will take a while until consumer confidence is regained.

As for UAE, they are feeling their first pinch of reality.

[PepaChar]

@MutantKnight Wow, you were right! Gonna hire you as my financial advisor!

[aafaking]

"US-based corporations dont belong to America the nation (that would be communism)"

No, that would be State-Capitalism. Read more about communism, the marx communism.

[UTuberSandwich]

Roosevelt stated that Economic Stability is the key factor in having a sound democracy! Without financial and economic stability, democracy cannot exist. Kennedy knew this so this is why he fought the Federal Reserve Bank. The federal Reserve bank is CENTRALIZED BANKING you know....the banking of choice for Fascist and Communist regimes? yep! So Kennedy began to fight it. the FRB was losing $25mil per day! Now you see why he's ded???

[gabrielg01]

Oilmonkeys, don't you worry...your oil will run out, and then you'll be back at the good old fashioned camel fucking. Inshallah!

[1samothrace77]

and that is when americans start doing the amish thing

[SuriKartel]

Thats not Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

idiot.

[akilichev]

i am very impressed for Dubay and wab=nt to say that the other Arabs to learn do smth impressive like that too :)

[PepaChar]

Yes, yhamdon, it's completely illogical... And Iranian currency is worth how much? Are you sure even Iranians want to get paid with it?  Now, can we get back to Dubai?

[yhamdon]

Any currency historically, is reflected by the value of the assets backing it up. When you have a situation were a foreign currency is the main source of transaction for that countries resources; it is then logical & historically validated that the local currency reflect a low value to that position. So yes, there would be a desire for locals to be paid in there own currency if their own resources were denominated in that currency. Lets get back to Dubai than.

[MutantKnight]

What has Iran got to do with this?

I mean, I understand what your presenting. Though, your concept is extremely tangent.

[vahram77]

Technologic and ecnomic advance has a little to do with globalization.

This is just Rockofeller's and Rothschild's propaganda and they don't want your money they want to control all of us, cuz they already have the money they need.

[vincenz55]

Yes Gods Kingdom

[vincenz55]

Who is funding these extravagant things in Dubai? Cant be just dubaiains. There is something fishy about all this. Someone please tell me the truth whats really going on here? the palm tree really sucks by the way its an abuse of the environment.

[PepaChar]

Vincenz, you answered your own question in your previous message, about the trillions of dollars from oil. It's a lot of oil profits accumulated over many decades. Incendiary comments about "something fishy" only serve to rile up others.

[vincenz55]

no it doesnt? it just wonders whats going on. look at iran during the time of the shah and before...it was becoming one of the most wealthy and self sufficicient countries in the world..what happened? you should know your history mate.

[PepaChar]

Iran was becoming a wealthy self-sufficient nation with help from US and European friends. They couldn't do it on their own. What happened? Iran had a revolution and starting behaving like a non-friend. Nations are like people, they shy away from those who become argumentative and complicated. Don't need to learn much history to understand that. It's called "Everything I need to know I learned in the sandbox". Remember that book?

[vincenz55]

Behaving like a non freind? When it doesnt benefit a wealthy nation anymore its called a non-freind. Help them at what cost? sounds like every country that gets usa help has to payback something forever..doesnt that sound like a certain crime organization we know. Every country should be free after getting help from someone they shouldnt be indebted forever to the country that helps them..thats called extortion

[PepaChar]

vincenz. Nationalizing private property that does not belong to the nation is outright theft. Investors (not the US) put up asset and operating capital that takes years to repay and generate a return. In the meantime, all this creates jobs, a tax base and an enhanced economy from which the nation benefits. The process takes years. If you call that forever and extortion, then please offer a better suggestion.

[yhamdon]

I agree with your nationalization concept. Consider the US Federal Reserve Dollar which is issued against a US Government Treasury Note. When the US Government requires currency a Treasury Note is issued to the non-governmental organization, the Federal Reserve Bank, which then issues Dollars at interest back to the US. In this undeniable truth, the US government nor the people own the assets of their labor. The founding fathers have warned that the enemy within is our greatest danger.

[yhamdon]

In response to "vincenz55", It is unfortunate that their are those who do not even wish to witness the wrong doing in their own house; yet can judge and critique those so far away to such detail. The phrase we all know, that, "History is written by the victors"; but it does not make it so. The Shah was installed as a Non-democratic representative of the Iranian people, and friend to Britain and the US. Awarding contracts to select British and US corporate interests alone.

[PepaChar]

Yahmdon - The shah was installed for democracy, which has nothing to do with oil trading other than it is better practice to trade with a democratic nation. Oil started trading in US$ because the other currencies were either too weak or too unstable. Iran oil contracts were awarded to UK and US companies because at that time there was no Iranian company capable of doing the job. So what? Iran got payment for the oil! That should be enough! Now, let's get back to Dubai.

[vincenz55]

Its easy to plan anything when you have trillions of dollars from oil.

A model? Will other nations follow Dubais lead think again

take Saudi arabia for example it has half the planets oil. This is a country which has the worst human rights on the planet and is centre of the muslim faith has it shown itself a leader? NO in fact its the most oppressed nation on earth called Americas freind. Unless the tyrants stepdown and usa+israel stay out of the middle east affairs it will never happen.

[PepaChar]

It didn't happen for thousands of years before oil times and the creation of Israel. Therefore, please explain why you state that it's all because of the USA and Israel.

[vincenz55]

is it happening now with usa bases in saudi arabia? is iraq any better after the us invasion? explain the less problems before usa and the formation of israel in the middle east?

[PepaChar]

vincenz. Yes, less problems. Also, less development, less comfortable lifestyle, less of everything that today's world offers and that the Middle-East also wants. Wanting is not enough, it has to be with a trade off, especially of ancient cultural imperatives that do not apply anymore. If something is proven not to work in thousands of years, why hold on to it?

[vincenz55]

it isnt working now that we see..we havent learned our lessons from the past

[finethaifella]

middle eastern people....are the most arrogant son of a bitch :) they walk around like they own the world... haha makes me laugh

[themoonISpeople]

youre rather ignorant....

[MutantKnight]

Define uprise.

Show source.

And screw you for initiating anger instead of education. Your mentality of change is worse than a 5 year old. Dealing with rage and wrath. Pathetic, simply pathetic

[finethaifella]

there was a big riot that happen sometime this month...200 thai workers where mob by over 300 egyptians. it was probably the thai that started that riot...but they were fed up...getting bully by everyone else in dubai. anywayse alot want to come back home...but there having a hard time cause of the dubai government.

[finethaifella]

Hroark7 is right...i feel sorry for the construction workers and maids there. alot of them are treated like shit..the pay is horrible and they treat you worst then a slave..its crazy that 75% of dubai population are workers. the story i hear about dubai is crazy..

[MutantKnight]

sources my friend...sources. Your hearing stories from where? have you lived in that country? have you even conversed with someone from the UAE before dropping judgement?

[finethaifella]

i dont need to live in that country to know what goes on...you want sources..go dig em yourself ...and you'll see plenty...im not making any judgement there...but i have a friend who work as a maid there...and she got rape, and couldnt do anything about it. the government dont give a damn...especially if your a foreigner haha....so thats all the SOURCE i need!! Dubai is no PARADISE....its pathetic

[MutantKnight]

I'm sorry for your friend. But your still rather arrogant. And from the way you speak, you sound clearly immature being controlled by your anger rather than your mind.

Ignorance seems bliss to you.

Everyone in the world is getting raped, so, your friend is not alone. If you want to make the world better, stop whining and start acting.

[Hroark7]

for the elite only,the middle class are pessants,slaves to a parasite elite,stop working their go back to your home land if you can,freedom on any level is better than being a slave in a artificial meaningless illusion.

[myersken]

Dubai looks like an environmentally unsustainable waste of money. An artificial oasis like Las Vegas for extremely wealthy Arab businessmen to flout their riches and indulge in the wonders of prostitution and alcohol consumption.  Good Muslims, I'm sure.

[isabelly2000]

Myersken. To me, Dubai looks more like a Free Enterprise Zone. They do quite well and generate a fair amount of employment and wealth. It sure beats poverty! And by the way, that artificial oasis aka Las Vegas sure attracts a lot of tourism and conventions. Definitely not a waste of money, and quite fun as well. Finally, let's not bring religion into every conversation, please! PS - what's an environmentally unsustainable waste of money?

[isabelly2000]

However, they should not forget that they are guests there.

[isabelly2000]

Whrsthefence. I enjoy your exchange. Yes Indian workers are frustrated. Let's see. Worker goes to Dubai to be able to send money home. Contracts for, say, US$100. Uses $50, and sends $50 home. When prices go up, he needs the full $100 and can't send $50 home. He is no doubt frustrated. Why accuse Dubai of exploitation? Rather, get the India Gov't to create the conditions to attract foreign investment. Then, the workers don't need to leave India to feed the family.

[jerzkid87]

What is this video even saying?? Of course theres Mcdonalds there now. It's a large city of mostly foreigners. Choose a real topic on globalization! Maybe start talking about the point that this will accelerate and that it has gross human rights abuses!!!

[isabelly2000]

jerzkid87. Such as?

[theantisuck]

Using actual slave labor from india. I've been there and seen it with my own eyes. My father works for Covanta Energy and I visited him there while he negotiated a plan with former president Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. We toured construction sites in our spare time and the people told us about the conditions of the Indian workers. That was in 2003.

[isabelly2000]

You've seen it with your own eyes? What? What people told you? And was your own father plotting slave labor? Who was doing the slave trade? You better be ready to answer a few pointed questions on this matter. Did you sit at any meetings? If you are 22, you were 17 then. Doubt that you understood things fully.

[psykobeat2012]

what a horrible city ..it looks like HOUSTON now...except for the fat people...

[MutantKnight]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!

Houston with more diversity :D, and less politics.

[isabelly2000]

MutantKnight. I also appreciate your perspective. I majored in international business and finance a few years back. I really enjoy my work. What about you?

[MutantKnight]

Excellent :)

I am currently majoring in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. Yet my plan for Masters as well as Ph.D is Economics and Education. It's only a few that have a very broad global perspective of things. I believe you travelled a lot as well.

[isabelly2000]

Better than travel, MutantKnight. Survived three wars. Thank you for your input. You can see now why I get a little short with people who opinate nonsense that leads to misunderstandings and resentments. Only good health beats the beauty of democracy, freedom and prosperity. However, even health is short lived (excuse the pun).

[doingtime20]

its all pretty, but i wouldnt show starbucks and mcdonalds with pride. More than globalization this seems americanization, along with its culture, and along with its everything, including the bad. I'm a mexican and we are neighbors of the americans. Trust me, you havent seen the real effect of the americans on your culture..

[MutantKnight]

Your perception is valid. The American culture introduced consumirism and materialism to the nation. However, the reason why I post Starbucks and McDonald is the irony behind it. I mean, an Araboic Pita McD Sandwich is failure :P. Starbucks was jsut to show that Arab nations don't look like what they show on TV or Cinema.

Thanks for your opinion,

[isabelly2000]

MutantKnight. I would definitely show McDonalds and Starbucks with pride. Because it proves exactly what you said. And more: it indicates a free market place that all have the right to enjoy. People go there because they want to, for whatever reason of their own. They are free to do so, and don't need anyone deciding and/or judging for them what is best for themselves.

[isabelly2000]

Consumerism and materialism are not seven-eyed monsters. Just a waste of time and money that people eventually learn to control on their own. And as long as everyone has money to buy those products, there doesn't seem to be any problem with it. But when they can't... that's when "the bad effects of American culture" come up for discussion.

[MutantKnight]

Yuo have a really good perception of global economy and society. Mind if I ask what you are majoring on, or what's your profession?

Thank you again for the comments :). I appreciate the input you give.

[doingtime20]

I have to agree Mutant it does change the image and perception of arab countries. About Isabellis comments, well he/she is american so there is obvious bias on comments for the same fact of being american. And no, its not a seven eyed monster, but the implications of it are much more complicated than what isabelli portrays. It's not just "self control" and "overcome" it. What about the effect of publicity on people? what about disparities of riches? its not so simple..

[isabelly2000]

Actually, doingtime, I am not american born. Been in enough places to know that things are actually a lot simpler than most will grant. They only get complicated when you start the overanalyzing academic debate. Life is about jobs. Some study, get ahead and get rich. It leads to a very well deserved "disparity". Why would you want to "equalize" it? Of even debate it?

[cant7think7clearly]

"The World" 4:02 has New Zealand in it! We're famous! :)

[MutantKnight]

For sure :D

[isabelly2000]

matgomeznumon. Pakistanis and Indonesians are not slaves in Dubai. No one forced them to go there. They left their countries VOLUNTARILY to escape poverty. That's where the "blood" is. People should vote for governments that create proper conditions in their own homelands. That's what democracy is for. If they choose to vote for the wrong guy, they have to deal with the consequences. Often that means having to go somewhere else to work. Don't blame the host country for giving them JOBS!

[matgomeznumon]

Nice video, very impressive. But you forgot to mention that most of the modern city was build by Slaves imported from Pakistan and Indonesia in part. Free worker can realy help your economy... The ''Dubai miracle'' have alot of blood on it...

[MutantKnight]

I recommend you research more on the matter than absorbing what media portrays.

[isabelly2000]

Renata. The way I see it is that Dubai may have made a lot from oil trading (and it still does), but it is also doing a great job of diversifying its economy. Tudo bem por ai?

[ucanlivelovelearn]

amazing! theres so much that they did, so i wonder what the next country will be like that the government remodels. loved the song by the way!

[MutantKnight]

Cheers bro :)

[MissSnowdrop]

didn't really get it, but whatever

had 2 watch it in social class

[MutantKnight]

They posted this in Sociology class?

The theme is how a country that was once a sandy area and a fishing economy suddenly changed into a nation of steel and oil. Also, how the change in economy brought different cultures to life :). Again, there is always goods and bads.

[RenataVentura]

problem is the video says Dubai has developed through free trade, etc... it might be true, but oil was an enormous part of it as well.

[MutantKnight]

Dubai doesn't have enough oil to sustain it's growth at present. Actually, it doesn't have oil at all. Abu Dhabi is the oil city of the UAE. The other emirates (or states) survive through other means.

Thanks for the comment :)

[RenataVentura]

yes yes, that´s what I meant.

: )

[MutantKnight]

Indirectly, your hypothesis is true. Because Abu Dhabi (the oil city) uses Dubai as their trade port since Abu Dhabi doesn't have the advanced facility or even the human resources that Dubai has.

[gillz666]

Actually I couldn't find it on phride dot com. I've been googling it and check Ares. Do you know where i can dl it from?

[MutantKnight]

message me your email and I'll attach the song :)

Thanks for your interest

[gillz666]

Yeah mutantknight, that's what i was talking about. Thanks.

[Machetazo1]

SSSOOOOOOOO, "cultural integration", is what is always has been counted to be...just only that land incorporating the EXCLUSIVELY WHITE forms of popular music and nothing else? Hmmmmmm. The world owes the most in homage to Africa...and the LEAST to Euro-merica.

[MutantKnight]

Well, we cannot just judge immediatly on this matter. This is just a "part" of Cultural Integration. I was born and raised in UAE, and Dubai was just 40 mins away from my home. There is more to the euro-american culture in UAE. We still enjoy wearing dishdasha and eat shawermah :D

[gillz666]

There's a song missing from the list. It starts at 7:10, I need the name of that song.

[MutantKnight]

Your talking about the Drum and Bass Jazz song? It's by "Bana - Dubai Transportation"

You can find that in Phride dot com

[vinobranie]

1st song -very nice! what is it?

[MutantKnight]

Hab Al Naseem - Firqat Dubai Al 7arbiya

[foilball]

Rich people don't like to live near poor people. I've met some people with hundreds of millions through some corporate friends they all have a dream like ambitious (nothings going to stop me) quality but also a disgust and distaste for the poor. These island communities are just the next evolution remember when Lucas, and Prince, and Michael Jackson purchased homes in valleys away from cities and now Gates and Mel Gibson are buying islands.

[MutantKnight]

I agree with your opinion but in a different light. Unfortunately money is being squandered around and Dubai has to focus on more important things than building islands. Anyway, thanks for the comments :)

[drdvdus]

a wonderful and successful story of globalization, Hongkong and Singapore have the same story too... Personally I have been to all these three places...globalization is the right way ahead.

[MutantKnight]

Not really to be honest, some places are not ready or equipped to follow the pattern and system of globalization. Only countries with stable economic foundation (nationally and internationally) will gain from it. Others lose.

[Machetazo1]

YES...I was just going to say... MY ASS. But you corrected drdvdus on that,and I thank you for your honesty about globalism, MutantKnight.I was going to say that you don't see any of the sweatshopping,and invasion wars,hegemony,bloodshed,and suffering in Dubai...the MAIN CHARACTERIZATIONS of globalism,like the globalism that's going on now in Iraq.

[MutantKnight]

What's going on in Iraq is not even considered globalism. Iraq is facing a major political attack. Along with that, economy is being damaged. There are no invasion wars or bloodshed in Dubai. Hegemony still exists, but due to power of cultural integration, it's starting to fade, very slowly. Suffering? Everyone is suffering. Who isn't?

It's better to have a neutral standing on subjects such as globalization.

Anyway, thanks for the comment, it's good that your aware of current world activities

[isabelly2000]

If anyone wishes to see the difference between a country executing globalization right and a country executing globalization wrong, watch "Globalization: New Rulers of the World" right here on YouTube. It's a six part video on how Indonesia missed the boat. Dubai is heaven, compared to Indonesia. The difference is in the country's leadership.

[MutantKnight]

Wisely said :)

Leadership and honesty in politics is one of the key to success.

I'll check the video out,

Thanks for passing by :)

[ChivaCongelado]

Great idea! I really liked the place when I visited.

BTW, can you give me a hint on arab rock groups? I like collecting rock music from all over, but don't know about arabic rock.

[MutantKnight]

I do not think there is any Arabic Rock or Arabic Metal that I know of. You can try "Orphaned Land -Mabool", they are an Middle eastern band that use Middle Easter Music Principles with Rock music. I am sure Egypt and Lebanon has some Arabic Rock or Metal in them.

Thanks for your interest

[emarati1]

c000ooooool i like it, go job , keep going dubai

[ObsidianBlaze]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Wish I had seen this when I blogged on Dubai..there are ALWAYS reposts!! GREAT JOB!!!

B.

[BobForehead]

It's the lead off in my brand-new Dubai(o)US 411 Shotgun videoplayalis'. Thanks!

[Jonthan33]

My father lives in Dubai, I love it there when I go. Great video!

[theoracle666]

this is some great stuff man !!! Good job !

Mo from Deigratia

[MutantKnight]

Dude, thank you. This was a University project to talk about the true side of Dubai. I should've emphasized more on Globalization. Anyway man, MISS YOU LOADS!!! Keep on rocking!
