"Castles in the Sand" a Dubai Travel Page by solopes

800 000 natives 4 200 000 expats, are building a delirium in the sands of Dubai. "The biggest... the highest... the richest... the craziest... the most expensive... the most uncommon..." and other superlatives are the rule in Dubai.

But... for whom? Why? Till when?

Now Dubai is trendy, and people converge in Dubai because... it's trendy! One day, the euphoria will pass, another trendy place will appear (China... is working in the same direction) and what will then keep attracting people to Dubai?

Shopping? Will someone pay expensive flights to expensive hotels to save some cents in expensive articles?

Beach? "Impossible" in summer (weather) and out of summer (prices), with the large competition of better and cheaper tropical destinations?

What else? History? Where? Typical references? What? I couldn't even see a camel... (No, I didn't go to the Zoo, but if that's the solution we have camels in Lisbon's zoo too)

I came full of doubts.

Meanwhile, amidst the forest of cranes, some of the "castles" really deserve to be seen.

I don't know when it will come the wave that erases the castles in the sand. But experience says that it always ends that way.
