Why does Dubai continue to attract so many expats? That growth in 2000-2010 is huge and from 1990 up till then its insane how its quadrupled.

Inevitable really. They need labour, South Asia has loads. Its a supply-demand complementary relationship.

labours are not the only south asian there, they many many middle class and rich south asians as well, dubai has a number of Indian billionaires. South asians in general love living in UAE, it's only the labour class that doesn;t and yes they should be treated well

Obviously some MC and rich Asians live there but 80% of the guys there go as construction workers or drivers etc.

Desalination plants I assume. No other way really. I doubt it ever rains there.

But, still, it is mostly a city of the sun. With a record of 48 C, it is one smoking hot city. But it has reached a record low of 7 C, during the day. |

In fact, when I was there in October, it rained one day between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It was a short and heavy rain.
