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.

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.

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!

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod. Acer 4K Webcam for PC/Mac with All-Metal Unibody Sculpted - $59.99 | 14% off Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195)

      By PWazzle · Posted

      Stop reporting AR glasses as an X inch screen, Y distance away. That is a horseshit meaningless spec. Report on the actual FOV angle. That's all that matters. And for the record, this FOV is ~49degrees. So we're talking about HoloLens level FOV... i.e. it's like looking through a piece of paper at arm's length.
