Overall

Before you read my post, have a trawl through and read the bitter, negative comments people have put on here about Dubai. You'll notice it is about religion, people, and Dubai as a 'eastern' place. The mere over emphasis on particular differences is evident. You know what this tells me? The people who leave these comments have not been there or have a chip on their shoulder to comment without even seeing themselves. Too hot? Of course, it's the warmest of arabian weathers. Too many of 'their' locals? well, if your from Britain go to Ibiza, sure to find 'your' own locals there. Too many buildings? Well my friend, this is Dubai in the making, you could of hired a camel and set out for the Dunes surrounding the city. Dubai is beauty in everyway, it stands firm with their islamic foundations, I respect this, you'll see countries/people trying hard to act western in order of acceptance of western tourists, then look what happens, you've left your country to be in the same enviroment again. Dubai is clean? that's because you don't have drunks kicking things over, puking, and causing trouble. I really hope dubai keeps it up and does not change because people feel home sick of the crap they leave behind. Thank you and good day.
