Hi Guppies and Guppan,I visited Dubai recenlty and this was my first time to the emirate. I was really surprised to see so much development- more than I have seen anywhere- nice and clean roads, man-made islands, Jumeira, Palm Island, Dubai Marina, Sheikh Zayed Road etc.. Dubai rocks- best city in the world! **4 of my 15 brothers live and work in Dubai- **2 of them work for a construction company and they told me about the breakthough projects like Burj-Dubai, Al-Burj etc. that is being taken on by Arabs. This is one of the reasons I admire Arabs. I rode a cab and the cabbie was Pakistani. He told me that in Dubai they prefer Pakistanis over Indians any day. Most of the Pakistanis are well-paid, rich and landowners and Indians are shown the door- no one likes Hindus :Dfor their animal-loving beliefs. Sheikh Rashid Al-Maqtoum personally likes Pakistanis and has taken a lot of intere… infact, many of the apartments on Palm islands have been offered to Pakistanis at a subsidized low-price. Pakistanis(esp. Punjabis) are welcomed for their honesty and education. Most of the enterpreneurs, engineers and doctors are from Pakistan. Indians clean the trash and toilets
