A fishing beach, a smugglers\' stopover, a water hole for hungry sailors looking for women in the huts, till 1957, where did the money come for 7 Star Hotels, Mall and whores imported from Central Asia? Dubai had no economic fundamental like agriculture or oil and must worse only 1.5m local population. It was greed of foreign Investors blinded like day traders pouring money on the sand waiting to grow in to billion dollar trees of blue glass and concrete forest....why blame Dubai, blame European and American Bankers who had swooped on the deset strip like vultures
