I highly doubt it’s cheaper than Spain, Tunisia or Greece. It does have a certain clientele of aspiring deal makers and entrepreneurs consistent with Dubai’s goal of becoming the middle east’s business hub. I liked it since it was 1-hop from Baghdad for an R&R.

true, but why the ordinary tourists? Ah, well, I can't understand folks who just like glamour. Give me old jeans and good walking shoes and a hotel in Rome, London, Prague, Paris, Vienna, Torun, Krakow, Wilno, Riga, Stockholm, Brugge, Antwerp, Venice or Oporta and I'm happy :)
