Yes, how rich the Dubai city?

The Wikipedia describes:

Revenues from petroleum and natural gas contribute less than 6% (2006) of Dubai’s US$ 37 billion economy (2005). A majority of the emirate’s revenues are from the Jebel Ali free zone authority (JAFZA) and, increasingly, from tourism and other service-oriented businesses. Dubai has attracted world-wide attention through innovative real estate projects and sports events.

But for me, its indicator was quite simple: I saw all clocks in the Dubai International Airport (even in the toilets!) are branded name’s Rolex! Wheew!

    Dubai is a greta country, as all things feel so confortable. I love walking in the city’s street as i enjoy looking into the surroudings and feel the air and their culture.
