I'm not sure as the web-designer put together the pictures of what we were able to find of the Sheikhs. The main point was to get the pictures of the rulers accross that allowed this corruption to exist and show the corrupt rulers. Islam does not teach this nor does it allow anyone to backup thieves...

There are many reasons for the market crashing in Dubai. What's odd is how much restriction there is in the papers for freedom of speech. The market tumbles or crashes and nothing gets reported in the paper but maybe a small article mentioning that the Market corrected.. what a Laugh. The Market was...

The nationalities of the criminals had a lot to do with how they were sentenced. I bet they will be out in a few months time if they don't get pardoned after sentencing. Justice here was not served, feel sorry for the poor visitor visiting Dubai. Wonder how they would have sentenced a few foreign me...

They catch one couple and they make headlines with it because they were foreigners. The local dude that is still wanted by the police in the Emirates has still not been found or captured with 2 years and moving on. Is this a joke or what? They will never publish that he is wanted in any local paper ...

What do you all think about the DFM IPO? As with any IPO its going to be majorly oversubscribed. Even if someone puts in 100,000 dhs worth of shares (minimum for non-UAE nationals), I doubt they'd get more than a 100 or so shares. Expect trading to be even less for the next 2-3 weeks as everyones m...

Still opening in the red everyday. Apparently recently the local authorities have taken a very hard stance against working women and have had undercover police in street clothes placed outside of The Cyclone and they are randomly apprehending many women on a daily basis as they walk in or out of The...

( We won't mention the locals as we all know how the majority of them earn their money). We do? How please? :) Well for a start, all of them usually get pardoned within a year for their crimes commited and over 85% of the crimes commited by locals are financially related. The same crooks conning fo...

Still competition, and if you will notice Etisalat has started to drop some of their prices.

True but very minimal at best.

Like I had said before was that people in the Emirates don't have much spare cash to throw around which can easily be seen from this last stock market crash. The maket has been unable to recover due to the fact that there is little disposable cash.. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?...

You forgot to mention two different electrical Bills. I have heard that they pay less for utility bills then expats do

Anyone here chime in to confirm?

Everything until now seems. Ihave yet to see a Villa owner or apartment unit owner who is a foreign expat show his freehold ownership title of either the land with the Villa or the Freehold ownership of the Apartment unit he or she had bought. Hopefully it will be Freehold but as of now it is just s...

yeah. I don't know where they get these prices. They don't have a competitor that's why. People can not do anything at all that's why they can just play the magic game of monopoly... if everything get competitive, a lot of business will be swarming in... What's funny is how Etisalat bids for foreig...

The fact of the matter remains that these 'laws' that change evrytime the wind blows the other way are designed to extort money on a regular basis. 1 mil is the average family mans 1-2 bed apt.

What you could use is some sound proof windows if all else fails and you do not wish to move. These sound proof windows really do work. I live in Taipei and had sound proof windows installed. The amount of sound that is reduced is amazing but be prepared to spend some money on these windows. With pr...

Webster , In America or Europe you can complain and chances are quite high that it will be resolved. In the UAE you can complain but I doubt anything will be done or resolved. If you are still not happy they will ask you to move back to your own country or move else where. This is the same in Kuwai...
