A lot of financial jobs there, and it's one of the biggest and best up and coming cities.
Did you know they are building (1st stage almost complete) Dubailand which after the first stage will be twice the size of the entire Disney World park. After it's completely done, it will be 4 times the size.

I have no intrest in going back to the Middle East any time soon.

The Kuwait City Mall is awesome too. It is very luxurious on the inside and is lit up beautifully at night. It basically sit on an Island out in the middle of water. You have to drive over a bridge to get to it.

Honestly, I am impressed with your geography. I have an excellent sense of where countries are, and US Geography, but no one seems to know anything about that.
Dubai also has built what looks like a palm tree out in the middle of the sea. They built luxury homes out there so everyone can have ocean front property!

Yeah, I had no idea about Dubailand. Those home are probably to expensive for either of us. The Saudis and Kuwaitis have alot of money. I was in a recreation center located outside of Camp Doha, that we refered to as the Marble Palace in Kuwait. I went to the snack bar to get a burger and a soda and it costed me the equivalent of $11. That was back in 1998.

Since 2001 soldiers have not been allowed to go off of the compound. I even believe that Doha has been closed. Although I am not completely sure.

No alcohol and no pornography in Kuwait. It is against the law.
