Contrary to a common belief, the Burj al-Arab is not rated as the world's only 7-star hotel but rather as a 5-star deluxe hotel. The maximum possible rating for a hotel is five stars.

its just a marketing ploy to say its 7 star.

Be prepared for lots of building work! Half of these buildings aren't even started or finished yet. My gf enjoyed her holiday there this year though.

Dubai is on a tight schedule to finish these buildings on time iirc. The first attraction was for it's oil, when that dries up, they will need all the tourists they can get to finance all this spending.

The Burj Al Arab is among three 7 star hotels, two of which are in Iran (Kish).

also who told you that Dubai has become rich from japan, china and india??

there is a migrant workforce in Dubai which consists of Indians and Pakistanis because there arnt enough locals to do the lower class jobs. Other than that there isnt heavy investment from india, china, and japan.

Iranian investments in dubai come to more than 4 billion dollars a year which is around 13 percent of investment in Dubai.

also you pointed out that they are building a second palm island, but actually they have started the third and largest one. www.thepalm.ae

as a matter of fact dubai's oil production is not very high, especially compared to their consumption. this is the primary reason why Dubai was forced invest heavily in tourism and service sector businesses, which proved successfull.

My mistake, I got my info a little confused :p

Dubai seems to know what they are doing. They have little to offer in terms of culture (in comparison to places like Egypt, Rome, etc), so they create some of the most impressive man-made items ever built to rival them - in essence they are aspiring to be a modern day Egypt.

It will be interesting when these projects are finished to see them and I hope they continue with these amazing projects.

I don't know if in dubay or another arambian country, But I hear that the people there use mercedez benz as the standard car, I mean, is like to say that the mercedez benz there is a toyota or Honda in USA, do u understand guys what I mean? apparently the people there have a lot of money and use only these cars :o :o

Its just something that people say but is far away from truth!

You can see all types of cars in Dubai.. and in the rest of the Arab cities!

in some other forum (Big Soccer I think) I read that people of Dubai dont have to work and that everything they need for is covered by the government.. Including food!

Don't believe all what you hear/read!

VidER

I have always wanted to go to dubai!

on top of all the other stuff discussed in this thread...they have the world's largest mall http://www.thedubaimall.com/

In Abu Dhabi there is this awesome hotel! http://www.emiratespalace.com/

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
