Here's a rendering of what Dubai's Marina will look like in the future. Keep in mind this is a small percentage of Dubai.

Interesting.  I imagine some people will think it's tacky but since I like traditional architecture in the area I like the domes on top of some of the buildings.

^And the majority of those buildings are 100+ stories.

Yeah they certainly do stand out in that area.  I still find it interesting so much is going on there in Dubai.  I think Dubai and Shanghai have got to the the two cities with so much major developments going on constantly.

Dubai's population is a little over 1 Million with a metro over 1.5 Million. Really is quite amazing on the amount of skyscrapers and highrises they are building.

I don't know about the rest of the world but I don't think it's even a place that many Americans are very familiar with.  Hopefully this is going to change soon.

Yes, Hopefully it will.

Dubai is very safe, clean, and booming. It's just an amazing place to live.
