Why is it so popular tourist destination? What can you do there? Isn't it like a big shopping mall where alcohol is banned
What's there to do?
Have you taken a look at your own skyline friend?
Some Austrian woman went there last year, got raped by an arab and was locked up afterwards because this counts sex outside of marriage and sharia doesn't bloody allow it.
No matter how many towers they let their indian slave labourers build, it will remain a backwards shithole.
why do you think this look soulless?
>Why is it so popular tourist destination?
Because the sandniggers made people believe it's worth travelling to so that they could "diversify" their "economy" in case the oil ever slumps.
>What can you do there?
Nothing life-changing. Look at the world's tallest building, go to touristy malls, do some expensive tourist activities that are designed to make you think that you're doing typically local things, like riding a camel through some sand dunes and drinking arabian tea afterwards. Horribly overrated tourist destination, but apart from air hubs and finance it's one of the few economic diversifications available there so they're pushing it.
>alcohol is banned
wrong
Just wait until the oil wealth runs out and they're all clubbing each other to death over the last glass of clean water. Then it'll be worth seeing.
alcohol is not banned in dubai
oil is 8% of there gdp
Although Dubai's economy was initially built on revenues from the oil industry, revenue from petroleum and natural gas currently account for less than 5% of the emirate's gross domestic product
Wasn't it some years ago? I remember reading that F1 tourists were mad since it was banned
You need to get a license
I want to live in Panama.
Pretty sure Saudi Arabia isn't very diversified at all.
>Saudi Arabia
what?
Maybe it was in AbuDabi?
Should have added "though" at the end, my bad.
Yeah that's where the f1 gp
isn't it all the same?
so? not the same. founded 500 years ago, and grw organically, the skyline is more similar to hong kong. it has the spanish quarter, favelas, the ruins, the american zone, the world exposition area. its a real city not a theme park made yesterday.
It's totally boring, there is no public life. You can't do anything other from going from one air-conditioned mall to the other.
what do you think has more soul, venice or the venetian in las vegas? paris or some replica city in chinkland?
yemen is more beautiful than shitbai. maybe when dubaishit gets older and more historical it will become something worthy, not now
Yeah but you have be in Turkey and india for those things
It's not fucking slave labour
Dubai isn't in Saudi Arabia?
Panama may not be the world's best example for an organically developed city, but I agree that Dubai is absolutely and utterly soulless. There's pretty much nothing left of the old town, they completely removed it to replace it with modern architecture. You'll be hard pressed to find a building older than 20 years. Fucking Las Vegas has more history than Dubai.
>spanish education
I lived there for a year. Worst year of my life.
Dubai has absolutely 0 social life. You see, usually cities have a "spirit" or a "souls". Dubai doesn't have that at all. The city doesn't know what it wants to be. Only thing to do after work is to go to some hotel lobby/bar and drink yourself to death while surrounded by Russian prostitutes.
No. Different emirates, different laws
Dubai isn't in Saudi land
>yemen is more beautiful than shitbai.
It's all relative though isn't it. Ayrabs are fucking hopeless in most respects
I never claimed that either.
>Muh culture
What did you do there ?
I was always considering it to top up the bank balance and enjoy some decent weather.
I can't imagine feeling like a second class citizen to a bunch of former goat herders with a completely unwarranted sense of self importance though.
>destroy several thousand years of arab culture and replace it with europeans building ugly glass skyscrapers designed by other europeans paid for with your oil money that you got from letting europeans drill oil on your land then selling it to europeans
what did the devout muslims mean by this
Dubai is not a replica, Dubai is unique as a desert flower, and has the personal style of the emirs that built it.
Unsurprising comment coming from your shithole
AY YO SO YOU BE SAYIN WE WUZ BILDIN N SHIT
Dumb fucking normalfag. Extroverts are vermin.
Frankfurt is a great city because there is nothing to do so literally anywhere else you go will be great.
skycrapers, glass and steal don't belong to the west
>postmodernity
Too afraid to say late capitalist?
It's okay because they have Russian whores
You'll really hate all European cities if you're uninterested in old stuff. Go sink another lifted pickup truck into the mud.
> emirs
> style
none
designed by british architects btw, the same that are ruining central london with their weird shapery shit. our skyscrapers may be shit too but at least we design them ourselves, its law.
i can give you medina or maybe riyadh in saudi arabia. not dubai. canacuck
>waaah, I want to go to someone else's country and be a smug "Le superior anglo" cunt
Kys
I want to admire Burj 2020, desu.

laffin i'm blody laffin
fuck I wish I could go to Sana'a man, Yemen is mystical. reading some news and american airstrikes killed like 8 kids two days ago. RIP. we're literally obliderating thousands of years of history there for nothing more than politics....
lmao another butthurt mexishit
calm down. it's just a meme ya dingus.
from an engineering point of view it is amazing. I mean, it's a whole city built in the middle of nowhere with tall fucking skyscrapers and shit. But nothing else.
it will be gone again, when oil is running out and when oil is useless
