[A.Rafay]

DUBAI (AFP) - Dubai, famed for its mega-projects before it was hit by the global financial crisis, on Saturday announced a new development to open the world’s biggest mall and a park larger than London’s Hyde Park. The ruler of the Gulf desert city state, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, announced the plan for a “new city within Dubai,” according to an official statement, naming it after himself. No cost was stated for “Mohammed bin Rashid City,” to be carried out by his Dubai Holding and the publicly-listed Emaar Properties, which developed many of Dubai’s prestigious projects, including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower.

Dubai--The Las Vegas of Islamic World.

Actually , Islamic World is freakin' giant! Lets make it Arab World ....

Dubai--The Las Vegas of Arab World.

Actually no , even "Arab world" doesn't represent the actual situations. Algerians , Egyptians , Moroccans , Tunisians , Libyans , Yemenites etc won't care or even enjoy the luxuries of Dubai.

Dubai--The Las Vegas of oil rich Gulf countries where "Princes" of Oil kingdoms come and enjoy everything , while same "princes" keep their women population under burka back at home.
