Why Do They Call Dubai A ‘Fake City’?
The critique comes from people who actually lived in Dubai, mostly due to the idea that Dubai doesn’t have the features that other cities have like community and culture.
Say you’re an Arabophile who wants to live in Dubai for a while to experience Emirati-Arab culture.
Just one problem
The Warrior Sees the Opportunity in the Challenge; The Coward Sees the Curse.
In life, there are those who solve problems and those who complain. They both face the same situation, but only one of them will discover a solution. Only one will embrace the challenge, while the other resigns to being a victim of the circumstances they both confront.
