Abu-Dubai?

(Dubai, home of the Burj Dubai - tallest building in the world)

(Abu Dhabi - tallest flagpole but lots more oil)

A generation ago, Abu Dhabi and Dubai were both poor pearl diving villages. Now, just a few decades later, Dubai has just gone on the record books for the world's tallest building (and it isn't even finished yet). The two cities are slowly growing towards each other and will someday be the Dallas/Fort Worth of the Middle East. A metroplex in the desert.

There is a difference between the two. One is rock and roll, the other is easy-listening Lite FM. One is Elvis, the other Michael Buble. One shops at Saks Fifth Avenue, the other shops at the Gap. One gets visits from rock stars, the other has Prince Charles and Camilla "coming round for tea". One has the world's tallest building, the other has the world's tallest ...um flagpole. You get the idea.

The fine citizens of Abu Dhabi might feel a little jealous of this except for this fact. Dubai's oil runs out in about 10 years and Abu Dhabi is sitting on over a hundred years supply.
