During winter in Dubai , when it can be as low as 17 degrees at noon and the water even colder , you will not find any of the locals or residents doing sea sports , however , crazy white tourists ? most definitely

I have no love for Dubai - but do remember the times when Lamcy plaza was a big deal along with that single Carrefour and the Ikea heading towards Sharjah

I LOVE the innovation that takes place in Dubai. Be it a structure, a project or development. However, i do would NOT love to live there. Too busy for my taste. Abu Dhabi is the place for me

Too “plastic” in culture. Maybe because they went too much on adoption rather than adaptation.

Looking like L.A a bit ?

A bit of a Miami vibe in this one ?

This statement is a bit all over the place and i see no correlation with a city you personally find plastic and the culture in said city or country, especially in the case of the UAE. The UAE has a solid culture and history in place and you can see it if you want to. Even if you choose not to, you will still see it in the way the people here dress on all occasions. At work, at school, at university and on the weekend. This is proof enough that the people of the UAE cherish their traditions and culture and are even proud to wear it ! The rest of Dubai and UAE in general is ultra modern. Some towers are very tacky i agree and i would rather they be imploded (or at least totally change the exterior elevations), then you have absolute gems. This is normal for any big city.
