The last time I went to this place — 4 months ago
I was serving on board the USS Spartanburg Cty LST-1192 in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Dubai is an American friendly oasis in the middle east. The food is delicious – lamb kabobs on freshly baked bread.
The country is owned by the natural citizens, everything else at the time was rented. Unfortunately, the country is so wealthy that it has to ship in workers from other countries, so there isn’t really a ‘middle’ class there.
Take walks down the gold districts of town, with fantastic mosques and beautiful clothing. I do hope to go back some day. What an ornate country.
