Been delayed until the 14th so I've been told - not too much of a disruption - Pah!

Fat Bot Slim has also been cancelled.

With respect for His Royal Highness - the country cannot shut down the minute someone of prominent position bows out. If it wishes to be the Commercial, Trading and Tourist hub it pretends to be then things have to change.

I am assuming that you are new to Dubai. and I know why you are upset, but if you knew Sheikh Maktoum, you would understand why this is happening.

underworked graphic designers strike again!

For the entire month of the shopping festival, I usually just stay near home as much as possible or hang out someplace where I know I have an entry/exit plan

What kills me is that I drive from RAK to Media City and back every day along Emirates Road so if that becomes blocked up I'm totally screwed...takes 1 hour on a good day, 3 hours on a bad day. That's something like 6 hours a day in traffic worse case scenario instead of only 2 hours best case scenario


Anyone heard of the 611 highway? Might give that a shot if it's a bad month.
