Walking around Dubai, you see Arabs in traditional white robes and checkered head pieces, Africans in every color imaginable, Pakistanis in salwaar-kameez, Western tourists in neon shoes and backpacks... and that's just the beginning.
You also see wealth. Everywhere. Not among the 80% population that is expats, but among the Emiratis. Loads of it. They are greening the desert and building high-rise after high-rise. Ever wonder where that money in your gas tank is going? :))
We are staying at our hotel in Dubai till Wednesday night, hoping for visas by Thursday. Tomorrow we'll head to Sharjah for some museums and maybe the beach.
With love from Dubai.
