      I can quite happily live my life without ever visiting Dubai.

      I just cannot see any attraction to the place, even the money doesn't tempt me.

                I stood right beside it (well, as close as you can get without being in the construction site) a few months back… they were still putting floors on at that point but there couldn’t have been many more to go.
