  • Burj Chalifa im Morgenlicht: ASIEN, VEREINIGTE ARABISCHE EMIRATE, EMIRAT DUBAI, DUBAI, 13.11.2009. Dubai hat sich in den letzten 40 Jahren rasant entwickelt: von einem Wuestenkaff ist es zu einem internationalem Finanz,- und Tourismuszentrum aufgestiegen. Kuenstliche Inseln, Hochhaeuser, Shopping Malls und sonstige Mega-Bauprojekte bestimmen das Stadtbild. Eines dieser Prestigeprojekte ist der Burj Chalifa bin Said, benannt nach dem Staatsoberhaupt der Vereinigten Emirate und dem Herrscher Abu Dhabis, Scheich Chalifa bin Said al Nahjan. Bis zum Eroeffnungstag am 04.01.2010 trug der Turm noch den Namen Burj Dubai. Die Umbenennung ist auch der Tatsache geschuldet, dass das reiche Abu Dhabi seinem klammen Nachbarn zum wiederholten Male bei der Finanzierung eines Grossprojektes half. Angeblich sollen bis zu 90 Prozent des Burj Chalifa dem Scheichtum Abu Dhabi gehoeren.

  • Dubai World Cup 2011. ASIA, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, EMIRATE DUBAI, DUBAI, 26.03.2011: The Dubai World Cup, the final event of a racing season that run from November till March, is the top sport and society event in Dubai. With prize-money of more than  $US26.00 million it is the highest-paid racing event in the world - anything else would have been a major surprise in this city of superlatives. Event he economic crisis hasn't slowed down the ruler srive for superlative: the price-money for the final race, the Dubai World Cup card, has gone up from $US6.00 in 2009 to $USD10.00 Mio this year. And yet, it is one of the most democratic international sport events that one can attend. While most of the westerners simply want to have a good party (and to get drunk), the ruler's focus is exclusively on the outcome of the races. Large sections of the  crowd- many of them from the Subcontinent and from Africa- simply enjoy a good day out with friends or family. Betting is not allowed in this Islamic country. Instead a lottery is played during racenight.
