The place is straight outta willy wonka and the chocolate factory. This is what happens when your leader is smart. Dubai is one of the leading exporters of oil, the leader (Mr.???) knows that it wasn’t going to last forever so he made Dubai “The Best” tourist attraction. I could be wrong but I think they only started to make Dubai like that 10 years ago maybe less? ---
