Yeah that is probably right looked up on cia world factbook not to long ago and the United Arab emirates is at the top of both population increase in % and immigration in rate in % and thats for the whole world

Btw just had a look at some of the 2006 pictures in this thread and its amazing to compare them to Dubai marina as of today abit hard to belive its the same city the developement has happened so fast back then even Crown of the emirates was just around 100 meters and rising and the 38 old styled Highrises was just finishing along with The marriot hotel.


just found some aerial pictures that was taken of the Dubai marina in 2005 by Brian J. McMorrow.

this is probably the best way to see how fast Dubai and especially the Dubai marina has grown in the last few years sorry for bad quality as mentioned earlier the photos dont belong to me

if anybody have or are able to find fresh aerials of Dubai marina from roughly the same angles that would be splendid then u will really get too see the complete difference.
