Life is never so cut and dry.
I love Dubai. For those of you who have lived in more than two places in the Middle East, where do you prefer? Cairo? Jeddah? The ever popular Ad Dammam?
Sure, Dubai grew too fast in the past ten years, but that is hardly a condemnation. And shallow rich people are hardly unique to the region.
My opinion is that the author has no story and was looking for attention.
