Dubai to build air-conditioned dome ‘city’

Dubai is planning to build a temperature-controlled city featuring the world’s largest mall and an indoor park, as well as hotels, health resorts and theatres, the developer said. They haven’t domed off the entire country yet, but given their history of ambitious plans, it’s not surprising if they announce something like that, that’s given that they still have enough oil money by then.

"The emirate is known for its numerous malls and many hotels, including the Dubai Mall, touted as the world’s largest shopping, leisure and entertainment destination"

Not quite. Dubai mall is currently ranked as the 15th largest. New South China mall is nearly twice the size.

"Dubai is planning to build a temperature-controlled city featuring the world’s largest mall"

Highly unlikely given the fact that NSC is nearly 2/3rd the size of the entire planned "city".

Dubai is one of those cities without a soul.
Westerners aren't allowed to drink... except in designated areas... like they are vile.

And they treat foreigners like crap. Why anyone would go there, is beyond me. Especially if they are from developed cities like New York, Tokyo, Paris, London, Sao Paolo etc.

Yes, god forbid people respect other countries religious beliefs or follow their laws.

"And they treat foreigners like crap"

No they don't. Utter nonsense.

well said, I dont know who "they" are. Dubai is a really diverse city when it comes to nationalities. There is hardly any emiratis that live there its pretty much 90% foreigners...

If anything, Dubai is one of the few muslim cities which panders to and welcomes western cultures.

Try going to other muslim countries and then comparing how they treat you to how UAE treates you.
