It was a fast-growing business hub before 2008; after which, many foreigners got a fast-track lesson in shari'a law (bankruptcy = jail), and high-tailed it.

I knew an nincompoop tradie apprentice back in the early-mid 2000s -- he was so dumb that he once had to get his stomach pumped because he accidently drank mechanical oil that he mixed up with the Coke bottles he had next to him; as well then can-openering the top of his van, missing decapitation by inches, after tail-gating a truck on a wet road (was in vehicles with him before that, and told his boss that he was crazy fuck and that I'd not ride pillion with him agian). Irrespective of his retardation, his father has some money and connections, and got him some gig in Dubia as a "supervisor" in a factory, by lying on his resume, which netted him in execess of $150K p. a. + a $50K bonus (per year) for staying on. That is, even literal retards who had no qualifications for the work (the approximation of today's poojeet "skilled workers"), got cushy jobs over there during that boom period .
