Mind you, as it all built on desert, it takes a hell of a lot of resourses to keep it going And that hotel has an underwater restuarant, reached by a submarine!

It is an amazing place, but frankly if I go there there is a lot more to see than some silly LEGO park. They have indoor skiing (It's 120 there), they have islands shaped like the world, there have two different groups of islands shaped like palm trees and they have the worlds only 6 or seven star hotel that has a huge sail as a wall, that is also built on a man-made island.

However Dubai has the best bet if they are going to. I've not been there since 2000, but it is an amazing place. I think they will need a lot of tan brick to build miniland Strange that Lego is pushing in a predominately Muslim country (where representation of people is frowned apon) especially after the danish cartoon saga.

Half the people in Dubai are foreigners. No way would they put a Lego anything there if it was like the rest of the middle east. All the female minifigs would have to look like <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?M=cas212" rel="nofollow">this</a> except the green might be a bit too seductive looking.
