Re: Burj Dubai - A Symbol of Dubai's Pomposity
Abu Dhabi is poised to overtake Dubai.
Abu Dhabi did smart investments in bringing American Universities to open campuses there, getting the Lourve and Guggenheim museums to open wings there, F1 Racing, etc. They want to make Abu Dhabi a center of education, culture, arts, etc.
While Dubai went on becoming a Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi is trying to make it self a Boston.
Looks like Abu Dhabi did the smart thing.
