Dubai: The new city in the Middle East



Hello all,

I have been living in Dubai for the past 2 years and 27 days. Its been a fantastic ride so far. Watching the birth of this new city the following pages will be a diary of events, news and information for all you people who are planning to move here soon or just got bitten by the dubai travel bug. I will also be posting photos of this growing city as long as this post is alive. Let me have your comments, suggestions and tips to make this site as informative as you would like.

Cheers
Eric Silvester
