Dubai certainly is nuts. I heard a statistic the other day that only about 5% of the people who live in Dubai are actually Emiratis. Incredible.
Other than that, the city is unbelievably congested, noisy and far too expensive for what it offers. Our Dubai office recently had a big party and all the employees were invited. The party started at 8pm and the official workday ends at 6pm. The employees made a request that they be allowed to leave work early in order to have time to go home and get ready in time for8. Management agreed and they were allowed to leave at 3pm!
