The Sudanese businesswoman who married a German, loves the desert 🏝️, & has a successful Camel-milk chocolate business is my favorite part of this very well-made documentary. Thank you. 👍😎

In 2003, 33 test holes were drilled to study the strength of the bedrock underlying the structure. "Weak to very weak sandstone and siltstone" was found, just metres below the surface. Samples were taken from test holes drilled to a depth of 140 metres, finding weak to very weak rock all the way.

Dubai is an amazing place to visit, an engineers wet dream. Driving into downtown at dusk/night, feels like you're playing a Star Wars VR game.

Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates and is roughly at sea level (16 m or 52 ft above). The emirate of Dubai shares borders with Abu Dhabi in the south, Sharjah in the northeast, and the Sultanate of Oman in the southeast

A travelogue so glowing and full of praise... Makes me wonder if this can really be the paradise on earth it claims to be? Huh?

"We can freely express ourselves, except about religion" In other words, then can not...
And i like their fake excitement for art, ignoring the fact that it's just one of many new ways to make tons of money, because the oil money is fading.
Nice documentary though. Dubai is a beautiful city. The contrast between traditional center and modern extravagant outer circles is beautiful.
And you've got to love the UAE for using their wealth for improvement. They reinvest everything. That is amazing. Other oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia or Russia use most of it for wars, while their people stay poor. Or Venezuela who just failed in every way.
