I wanna go back!!! Things have changed so much since the last time I was there.
Must be 8 years ago now, as the burj al arab just had opened when we went the last time of 5 total.

Associate of an engineering design firm. Quite busy at the moment, altough things are slowing down. I'm doing YAS island though for the GP next year, as well as a 30km wide beech from development at Al Raha between Dubai & Abu Dhabi.
