Rising Gulf

Posted by Matt in July 28th, 2007

An unprecedented boom is changing the region—and echoing far past its borders.

Aug. 6, 2007 issue - We all know the headlines by now: the Middle East is burning, right? So it seems, as Palestinians and Iraqis wage civil war, Lebanon seethes, Syria and Israel trade barbs and Iran spits defiance. Yet beyond the smoke a very different story is emerging nearby. In the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, times have never been better. Business is booming. And political conflict has become a foreign phenomenon, watched on flat-screen TVs in the air-conditioned living rooms of Doha, Dubai, Kuwait City, Muscat and Riyadh.

Oasis Resort Hotel - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
This is the hotel I stayed at when I was briefly in the UAE. The rapidly growing skyline can be seen as the city expands. The rooms were essentially three bedroom apartments and the going rate upon the construction being completed was equivalent to $1000 a night, but my company only had to pay about $300 since it was still under construction. Anybody who has the chance to see this city would be amazed at how westernized it feels. Because everything is new there is no urban decay like in many older cities in the United States.

Modern Times Wonders BURJ AL ARAB Dubai
MTW-DVD-111 - The latest symbol of the Emirates, Dubai's Burj Al Arab, is an arabian tower that extends high into the sky, the only seven star hotel in the world built upon its own artificial island in the Persian Gulf. The hotel's exterior is shaped like a gigantic sail bent by the wind, a wonder of hotel design that is without equal. The sound of water fountains mingles with Arabian melodies and combines to produce an almost meditative atmosphere, while the aroma of incense brings to mind the story of the 1001 Nights. This exclusive hotel is mainly frequented by clientele from the oil-rich Gulf States and its long list of V.I.P. guests is no surprise especially when considering that a night's stay costs between 1,500 and 10,000 dollars! Created from the inspiration of Arab oil...

United Arab Emirates National Anthem
The Trucial States of the Persian Gulf coast granted the UK control of their defense and foreign affairs in 19th century treaties. In 1971, six of these states - Abu Zaby, 'Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Dubayy, and Umm al Qaywayn - merged to form the United Arab Emirates (UAE). They were joined in 1972 by Ra's al Khaymah. The UAE's per capita GDP is on par with those of leading West European nations. Its generosity with oil revenues and its moderate foreign policy stance have allowed the UAE to play a vital role in the affairs of the region.

Ahmadinejad in Iranian Club in Dubai
Ahmadinejad in Iranian Club in DUBAI, United Arab Emirates.

This is for your benefit and the benefit of your nation," Ahmadinejad says to the crowd of thousands at a soccer stadium. "The nations of the region can no longer take you forcing yourself on them. The nations of the region know better how to create peace and security." "Every time your name is mentioned, hatred builds...

THE UAE NATIONAL DAY 2007(IAT DUBAI)
The United Arab Emirates is no doubt a success story in every sense. This country may be a young 34 -year-old state but so much has been done here that it makes many other older countries envious. The great stride the UAE has taken since 1971 is a unique success. Therefore, we created this video to express our achievements.
