UAE is fairly small as it happens. Take a look at many major airports around the world and you won't see much difference....
Yes but invariably they don't have the luxury of 1000s of acres of sand to use,or relatively flat land

I seem to remember back in the late 70's, early 80's it was mainly sand around the airport, its just the manic expansion of Dubai which has made it as it is today
