Fastest Growing City in the World! Middle East 2.0 - Dubai in 2006

The Biggest Story in the World --- Dubai - home of the world's largest construction site and one of the most amazing stories in our world today. Connect me on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/bruce.fenton

While millions flock to Dubai annually, from an American perspective it's "the Middle East we don't know".

Still surrounded in misunderstanding by so many in the US, the massively positive story of Dubai and Middle East 2.0 is the real story of change in the Gulf.

It is a story of peaceful, constructive excellence and the pursuit of dreams. A story very much in line with true American values.

Dubai is a city in the emirate of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE in the Persian Gulf. The UAE is part of the GCC, Gulf Cooperative Council, an economic group of nations along the lines of the European Union (EU). The GCC includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

The growth in Dubai is representative of the growth in the region. While many in America associate the Arab world, the Middle East, the Gulf or sadly Islam and Muslims with terror and terrorism, war and violence, the real story of the Middle East is what is going on with construction, commerce, art, development and millions of people making a better life for themselves.

There is clearly a big difference between the perceptions of Iraq or other areas in the region and reality. Some people tend to think that Iran, the UAE, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are all the same - the region is as varied as the Americas.

Richard Branson, Tiger Woods, Martha Stewart, Madonna and Donald Trump all have business ventures in Dubai. The area is known mostly for real estate but many other projects continue there daily.

@InvestWebbot you are right bro.



[CarbonWheel]

everyone should realize the fact that dubai dont have a huge oil reseve.more than 80 percent of the dubai economy depends upon tourism.so pls dont post any more oil rich comments.even when oil runs out dubai will still remain untouched, because dubai dosent depend up on oil.

[lowjokerid]

its fenton!!!! or its feunt'eun!!!! he's in dubai!!!!

[DrJosh25]

Well, I hate being a buzz-killer but none of these accomplishments are due to Emirati people... Arabs were born on huge fields of petroleum which was discovered by Westerners, is being drilled by Westerners, sold to Westerners and from all that income Dubai is being built by Westerners.

this is all in 2007.

you should look at it now, shit your pants.

Ummm, why doesn't this tool of a narrator mention some of the many obvious sustainabilty problems with all the development? Middle East 2.0 may be here, but will it last after the oil runs dry? These are the fools running the world and are responsible for many of our current economic problems.

If we are in a big crisis. Let me see this city again ;)
