See Dubai from Sky

                                                    

DUBAI // It is a city with numerous attractions to entertain visitors, but some tourists are seeking a view of Dubai unlike any other. Tourist operators traditionally take visitors to a city's finest locations. Dubai is no different, but many of its most startling sites, are populated by construction workers manning excavators, nail guns and concrete mixers.
Soaring above the sky at 1,500ft in a light aeroplane, a seaplane tour gives tourists a rare bird's-eye view of Dubai's rapidly changing construction landscapes taking in some of the most iconic buildings and some of the emirate's most eagerly awaited projects. On a 40-minute aerial journey over the city, visitors see thousands of crane and dozens of large industrial sites, that when completed, will be the face of future Dubai.
Among the fledgling landmarks are Burj Dubai, Dubai Sports City and Nakheel's ambitious offshore projects, Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and The World. Passengers aboard the Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian seaplane are able to see for themselves the progress of some of Dubai's key residential, commercial and tourist developments. The operator of one flight company, Jason Silvy, Seawings' commercial manager, said property companies often booked the flight to show clients and prospective buyers how their off-plan real estate developments were taking shape.
"We also get companies taking the trip to carry out aerial surveys," said Mr Silvy. "It offers that bird's-eye view you just can't get any other way. What better way to see in detail what's going on with Dubai's famous master developments and buildings. Click on the attached links to view some of the developments.

London, UAE face challenges together

"The old foe of economic nationalism is emerging," Alderman Ian Luder, the Lord Mayor of London, warned a welcome dinner in the Raffles hotel on Sunday night.

Dubai: "The old foe of economic nationalism is emerging," Alderman Ian Luder, the Lord Mayor of London, warned a welcome dinner in the Raffles hotel on Sunday night.
Economic ties between Dubai and London were underscored as strong and lasting by both the Lord Mayor and Mark Beer, Chairman and CEO of the evening's hosts, the British Business Group of Dubai and the northern emirates. However, Luder told Gulf News in an interview prior to the event that Dubai's investment in the City was currently cautious.
"We have stuck together in good times and not so good times and will continue to do so," said Luder, regarding the relationship between Dubai and London. "We regard Dubai as one of the best places in the Middle East to do business."
"We must remain committed to open economies," he said. "Our interconnectedness is real. Disaster is what awaits us all if we turn our backs on the global world and return to protectionism."
Mindful of such a possible trend among some countries, Beer drew on the advantages London offers as a trade partner for the UAE. After pointing out that UAE companies have one of the lowest percentages in the world of bad debt on the books, he asked, "Is there any better place to be than Dubai and the UAE? Is there any better trading partnership [than with London]?"
"London has the most liberal [business] environment in Europe," added Beer. "Not like the protectionism we are seeing in France."
Despite the Lord Mayor's view that sterling is significantly undersold, investments in the City by UAE businesspeople are not experiencing a surge.
"We are in a slightly quiet period," Luder told Gulf News.
"People are going to wait to see the full 2008 reports - that the bad news has all come out."
Regarding regulation, Luder stressed that a focus on values and integrity in the business community was just as vital, however, international cooperation will also be important. "We need to make cross-border regulatory cooperation a reality," said the Mayor.
