The Dubai Burj al Arab

I don’t know why Dubai and the Dubai Burj al Arab are so fascinating to me.

It could be because Dubai seems to be billed as the Las Vegas of the Middle East with all of its luxury buildings, grand building plans, and full-on embrace of business and capitalism.

It’s a contrast to all of the images and news that always dominates Middle Eastern news coverage.

It’s good to see a ray of light in a part of the world that sometimes seems mired in never ending violence and conflict.
