Most people on our flight did not enter Dubai, but continued on to other destinations. The transit areas were packed with people from lots of different flights.<br /><br />I think that DXB is becoming a hub between Asia and Europe for a lot of airlines.nzmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160346268566279764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-43803121370808445822010-02-24T18:49:49.111+04:002010-02-24T18:49:49.111+04:00It's very much a working city.

People have had this perception of Dubai Real Estate being the only industry here, due to the heavy marketing investment from this sector. But in reality, Dubai is not just about properties. But this property boom is also now showing its fruitful signs in other ways and perhaps in long term. Becoming affordable to lease office space, accommodation and the best infrastructure, lifestyle and regulations its proving again the best choice for companies to base their operations for this region. Best city to live in this region.<br /><br />People often forget Dubai's real industries – aviation, trading, shopping, tourism, marine, re-export, media, wholesale, etc etc etc and property – one of them.<br /><br />And precisely, we all often forget – Dubai is still work in progress.
