As seen on 60 Minutes Dubai Inc. reported by Steve Kroft.
The Biggest Story in the World — Dubai - home of the world’s largest construction site and one of the most amazing stories in our world today.
While millions flock to Dubai annually, from an American perspective it’s “the Middle East we don’t know”.
Still surrounded in misunderstanding by so many in the US, the massively positive story of Dubai and Middle East 2.0 is the real story of change in the Gulf.
It is a story of peaceful, constructive excellence and the pursuit of dreams. A story very much in line with true American values.
Dubai is a city in the emirate of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE in the Persian Gulf. The UAE is part of the GCC, Gulf Cooperative Council, an economic group of nations along the lines of the European Union (EU). The GCC includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
The growth in Dubai is representative of the growth in the region. While many in America associate the Arab world, the Middle East, the Gulf or sadly Islam and Muslims with terror and terrorism, war and violence, the real story of the Middle East is what is going on with construction, commerce, art, development and millions of people making a better life for themselves.
There is clearly a big difference between the perceptions of Iraq or other areas in the region and reality. Some people tend to think that Iran, the UAE, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are all the same - the region is as varied as the Americas.
Richard Branson, Tiger Woods, Martha Stewart, Madonna and Donald Trump all have business ventures in Dubai. The area is known mostly for real estate but many other projects continue there daily.

you should come to Britain and see how much we have to pay!
You would soon realize how cheap you get things.
September 20th, 2008 at 12:03 am
That didn’t go where i wanted it!
September 20th, 2008 at 12:03 am
Please. the British hate America! not particularly the Americans (Barr devout christian Americans, blissful ignorance) but the way their country is run!
Unfortunately the UK has big debts and ties to them so must tag along. It’s shameful and everyone in Britain HATES it, but we have no say!
This video is embarrassing. 2.0 what??
Americas permission? (remove head from arse)
I must say though that this place looks amazing, and the buildings are stunning!
Shotgun! my holiday home when I’m rich.

And for your ignorant and yet limited information, French/ Canadian excavations in Dubai, due to recent discoveries, proved that man lived in ‘The Forgiving Coast’ for more than 4000 years ago. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) himself mentioned our ancient name 1400 years ago in one of his sent-out ‘call to Islam’ messages; he called us by (people of ‘Al-Ghabra’ area).
No culture? Shut your mouth ignorant fool! Or you know what? “Keep talking Jester, the gypsies love it!!”.
Looool XD

So? Can we now say: all thanks to Allah for his bless that we don’t need others wealth but our own?!?!! Thank God we won’t steel?!?!! (America - Iraqi Oil)?!?!!
and.., thanks God a thousand times that I am a son of fishermen, not greedy envious capitalists…
September 20th, 2008 at 12:03 am
.. AAAND still jealous.. aren’t you?!
Also, my people are shay, the Emiratis are shy, we have a shy culture, they don’t like to talk and argue in public places, therefore, I don’t have the luxury of believing you…
and, if they did, they are not really local, because, it is against our lush culture and teachings, “no one talks loudly in public places but donkeys” Islam says, and those who support it and allow it are donkeys too if I may add. By the way, this is what ruins your Hyde Park.

BTW … many UAE guys come to london, they open the mouth and they talk shit ,you can smell the primitivism of them and bad breath,.you can have bilions, but i guess chewing gums havent arrived to your world yet.
who designed your marvellous dubai? american adn european designers and engineers. u hardly have any schools there, and if you do, they have opened just lately.
with the money you have, any other city woudl be 100 times better than that golden caged dubai.
September 20th, 2008 at 12:03 am
if there were not americans and europeans, dubai woudl be nowhere. its just one metropolis in the middle of hunger,dirt and sand.any city that woudl be build just now, woudl look like dubai, the thing is , that london newyork etc have hundreds years of culture. dubai was a fishing village. and if u didnt have your oil, nobody woudl even know about arabs.

maladery: “Dubai gov should increase trade and commerce development aside of tourism. anyway Dubai is great but only second to nyc. Dubai beats paris, london and tokyo from my perpective”.
WHY are you people always comparing my Dubai to NYC??? You don’t have a better place to compare with???
