Its amazing how people moan and groan about taxes, city services etc exactly the same the world over. Having said that, it seems that residents are fairly proud of the progress Dubai is making. Is Dubai now the largest city in UAE or is Abu Dhabi bigger? Dubai city is bigger than Abu Dhabi city, but Abu Dhabi the emirate is much bigger than Dubai the emirate. If that doesn't make sense, both are both emirates (states) and also the capital city of their respecitive emirate. Abu Dhabi city is like a small town in comparison to Dubai city. Abu Dhabi city is on an island, so the development opportunities are limited by geography. Abu Dhabi has about 10x as much oil as Dubai, so Dubai has had to develop a real economy to succeed. BTW I saw the temp was 22º C. I didn't think it would be that cool in Dubai this time of the year. I thought temps would be closer to 80º F. Isn't UAE near the equator It has been the coolest, wettest winter in 20 years. Global cooling going on here.
