yup. like a more disgusting version of vegas/hollywood

I think when it comes to places like Vegas, NYC, and L.A., you know about their dirty laundry and the dirty laundry doesn't mind being aired (Especially for NYC).

Dubai wanna be on that "my shyt don't stank" boo boo.

What would those be?

Peep this
Now, tell me of the Last Hour," asked the man.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "The one asked knows no more of it than the one asking."

"Then tell me about its signs," said the man.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, ""When a slave (lady) starts giving birth to her master and when the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of tall buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah."

Then the visitor left, and I waited a long time. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, "Do you know, Umar, who the questioner was?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best."He said (Allah bless him and give him peace), "It was Jibril. He came to you to teach you your religion." [Sahih Muslim]

no doubt modern day babylon


it will be a sad sight when all the sand and dust covers that disturbingly opulent cesspit of oil money.

its just so decadent; so arrogant..a bunch of billionaires flaunting their wealth. that's what I see when i look at hotspots like dubai. like one of the dudes here said its practically begging for some type of disaster, challenging 'god' or whatever like babylon did in its day

Debauchery, demonic, dirty, arrogant etc, sounds like Dubai got alot of americans real salty. The "washing of dirty laundry" is no different from what goes on in Los Angeles or Las Vegas, probably just as dirty in the East as the West. No doubt its eerie, but seems they just want to fit in, they want that Hollywood tourism, but just because it isnt in the west or american its gonna get hate.

Been there a few times, might be going there again.

Anyhow, Dubai reminds me of this one old timey fisherman/sailor ghost story: A ghost story about how a beautiful woman shows herself to men of the sea (particularly at the shore) and entices them and once she entices them, she shows her true demonic form and brings them to their death.

That is what Dubai reminds me of.

A siren.
