Dubai Summer
I recently went on a massive trip (Europe). There were only the “real rich,” …I’m talking Saudis. I’m talking about making fun of Netjets and flying private 737s with some of the most HOT girl westerners (cause they don’t trust anyone else). All the BUZZ is Dubai! Everyone saying “Dubai is the next frontier.” Dubai has a lot Palm Island, Ski Dubai…etc. And they have a nightlife…though nightclubs are mainly in hotels. People need to meet, sell, transact in Dubai and as far as I can tell they do not have much in that respect. The stock market is the UAE own exchange. There are hardly any web companies. Think about it.
So I do not know what to do there but something is in order. Maybe just buy up their domains DubaiNow.com or DubaiMall.com…etc.
I was told that in order for us (USA but I assume other foreigners) looking to do business in Dubai us(we) need a local “sponsor,” which typically requires some sort of partnership…pay off…etc. (can’t confirm this but discussed it several times).
Also another tidbit…that text messaging is ramped up in Dubai, where its more common than email among the younger set 23 to 35.
Did you know: That the Kingdom is a DRY country meaning no alcohol…yet…Saudi Arabia is the largest importer of Jack Daniels!
