Welcome to Dubai is a 4 prater off of youtube. It feels like a promo vid at the start but it gets away from that and moves into the history of Dubai then back into promo mode. Each vid has a commercial at the beginning do not mind it. It will show you landmarks placed with dates that explain the growth of the emirate. I would love to go back into the old Dubai and is untouched nature, but sadly that is gone and for good I would say. Growth and expansion is good but not at the price of heritage. There needs to be a better grasp on the past in lots of countries before there history is barryied under the next mall. I am looking for other cities and countries around the world to show on this blog. It can give good ideas for travel options.

So here is an interesting doc that I found a while back. I am heading over to the UAE soon. So I have been trying to learn about what people and places are like. Though I would say that there is no way to really know till your there. The lady who runs the shelter is such a good muslim mashallah. I hope that she can keep up the work. Here you all go.
