this is great for Abu Dhabi considering that they are shifting their economy from an oil based economy to a service and business oriented economy. they are doing this to lure investors and companies executives whom they will try to convince to invest in their country . so this is genius on their part considering what they have planned on their works. good example is that their building a brand new Eco friendly and service based city estimated to cost 150 billion dollars over fifteen years which would provide jobs for the 5 million plus residents of Abu Dhabi.

This is embarrassing.
Anyone who doesn't view this as dripping with excess and absurdity probably should do a little bit of self reflection.
