We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Dubai is basically what happens when oil money meets a mid-life crisis - a fake plastic playground where roughly 9 in 10 residents are expats, many of them building golden playgrounds for people who think gold-plated everything is a personality trait. It's like Las Vegas had a baby with a construction site and named it after a shopping mall.
Nothing says 'secure in your masculinity' like building the world's tallest building in a desert where nobody asked for it. The Burj Khalifa is basically a 828-meter middle finger to the concept of practicality, so tall it feels like it's visible from space (it isn't, but Dubai would love you to believe it) and twice as pointless.
Dubai's idea of culture is a mall with an aquarium and some imported palm trees. The city has all the soul of a luxury airport duty-free shop, but hey, at least you can buy a gold-covered hamburger while a hired falcon poses for your selfie.
Dubai exists in defiance of nature itself - a city where stepping outside feels like opening an oven door, but don't worry, they'll blast enough AC to freeze a penguin while you speed between climate-controlled bubbles. Mother Earth is sending the bill for this madness.
