Land, mans trophy of sand

For all those expats out there...

How do you think locals get those chunks of free land you keep hearing about? Well, they apply for it at a government program obviously. But What you probably didnt hear about was the gruelling process to get the said land. Ive heard stories of people waiting years to get their land (which incidentally usually comes with some start-up money to get things going, if you want).

So recently Im sitting with family and they are talking about land in Warqa... Government built homes for sale to the average local. Shaikh Mohamed apparently has commisioned homes to be built and sold to locals at fairly cheap prices. This is intresting, cause locals can either wait years for their land, Or buy this one... Depends on their patience I suppose.

But I hope this doesnt mean a gradual phasing out of the free land.

Not again...

Internet is messed up... and half the people on the links are vacationing or inactive :-).

AD style

Visting AD today was a majestic experience (Aka Adinamorato) ... Its sooo different there.

Calmer, Quiter, Bigger roads... If I had enough money, I would split my time between dxb and Ad.

In 10 years time, mark my words, AD will be the place to relax. The projects underway now such as a branch of the Iconic Louvre Museum, The Zayed Mosque, The Ferrari City, along with other cultural and business attractions will make Abu Dhabi the place where the rich of Dubai, go to relax after a long week of work... Good job AD.

PS dont forget the upcoming F1 race there :-)
