The many 'Layers' of Dubai

As one of my VT friends put it (and my very helpful guide to dubai ;-)), Dubai is a city of many layers...which layer/s you choose to unravel is entirely up to you..and whether you choose to delve into these layers depth-first or breadth-first is also entirely your choice!

I'll speak about this more extensively in my tips, and as I begin to discover these layers myself :) Some layers I can mention are: the shopping layer (or what I have come to call... MALL-ing ), the job/work layer, the chillout layer, the night-life layer, .... (to name a few) ;-)

To stay or not to stay?

THAT IS THE QUESTION

And so..I'm here in Dubai for the third time... I've been here for the past two weeks, on what's confusingly a vacation/job-hunt lol Yes, the confusing part being me trying to be in those two different states of mind at the same time :o)

I'll be staying in Dubai for the next month or so, and during that time I'll be adding tips, writing up anything and everything that I believe is useful and interesting during my stay..and perhaps even through my job-hunt and my own experience, you'll learn more about Dubai, and what it holds for you: beach vacation, shopping spree, or your next job locale ;)

Pros:"Cosmopolitan, beautiful hotels and malls...BOOMING!"
Cons:"Too artificial...except for the beautiful desert and its sunsets!"

 I just read your tip about the "internet censorship". The strange thing is, that they don't have any blocks whatsoever in Emaar communities, like the one I live in.
