Interesting to see their HH in those work-safety clothes. But it might look better if you saw him talking or even tell something to the camera.. The whole video you just only see him sit/watch and look around.. Like a kid on the backseat of a car (no offence, i appreciate his very high status, opinions and decisions, it just looks this way on this video).

What's with the name calling? And I don't live in Dubai, I'm just tired of you jerks stereotyping a whole group of people together because of a group of radicals. Such a sad person.
-
You're a very sad person grouping an entire ethnicity together just because of a few radicals.. The UAE stays out of the wars going on the Middle East which is why the terrorists haven't targeted the city of Dubai or that country in years.

I like this man.

Cool! but the fact is it would be better if Dubai focused mainly on something basic than the so called largest or biggest.because So far I'm concerned it's still in economic trouble because of its wrong plans made earlier time.A great foolishness was investing money more and more but getting the output less than expected which eventually clarifies the idea that the plans were mostly wrong.So what i suggest that it shouldn't be enchanted by the largest or biggest objects but believe in basic...

Most people working in Dubai, chose to work here, because this most likely presented better opportunities than what they would ever have had wherever they come from. Nobody is forced to work here, and the wages is equal to, and in most cases better than in most other "first world countries". Sure, not everybody have the same religious believes, but it costs nothing to leave space for respect towards others
