Dubai again - the dark side

Fantastic article on Dubai in The Independent – how journalism used to and should be: properly researched and incisive. During a recent visit, I felt colours of the sinister undertones described here, and the sense that this oil-fuelled attempt to battle the dessert into submission (on the backs of immigrant labour) cannot last, although as a fleeting privileged visitor I was spared much of the darker side. I did swim in the sea though, thinking that most people’s preference for the infinity swimming pool was because they could drink cocktails from there, rather than rancid pollution.
