Beehive Media has been doing business in Dubai for nearly three years. I have worked with real estate developers, the Government, and the foundation established by Sheikh Mohammed himself. I have seen the city grow in that short amount of time and have witnessed at fairly close proximity the strategic vision, targeted initiatives and successful execution of tactics to turn a city in the desert into the center of the world.
While mistakes have been made, and there are problems in Dubai, the amazing thing is that it has started to become what it was envisioned to be. I have not been to anywhere with a more cosmopolitan mix of people, with a vision as grand or with an energy for business that is greater than Dubai. Every time I go, I am impressed with progress, both seen and unseen.
While I don't know that I would want to call Dubai home, it is worthy of the attention and wonder it has received in recent years. Recently I was able to visit Palm Jumeirah - one of the man-made mega-projects rising from the Gulf. It is a wonder to behold and awe-inspiring to see what man can create. Ignoring ecological issues, it is breathtaking. I was even able to witness it being worked on - one rock at a time being placed by a crane on the outer barrier.
Truly remarkable.
