Hey dxbpilot,
What makes you think that expats would want to apply for a DXB passport? Look at the mess this place is in all in the name of progress. Builders, roadworks personnel, maids, shop staff etc are treated like animals. This place is built on slave labour (look at the working conditions). Prior to coming here I had never heard the term "labour camp" used in this day and age. We read about animal rights issues around the world but we are facing real human rights issues in DXB. Doesn't take long to understand how this place works. Dangerous driving conditions because some believe they are above the law, lack of police with enough authority to stand up to the arrogant types, lenient sentences for a specific few and a million other failures of this place makes it just like the wild west. Lived both East and West of here and to hear comparisons made is ridiculous. DXB is nowhere near the class of London, Melbourne or Hong Kong.
