are you joking? this page is tourist industry propaganda. please fix. e.g.: oil makes up 3% of dubai's economy? please.
 * No, I'm not joking. This page was meant to be the detail to the summary on the main article.  All I did was copy and paste the information to a new article to bring the main article into conformity with Summary style. Feel free to edit or otherwise change inaccuracies in the article as necessary. AreJay 03:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The Nakheel Logo.jpg
Image:The Nakheel Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

---> This page should be updated with more-current info. According to an NYT article on 2/12/09, the economy of Dubai has fallen apart, construction projects have shuddered to a halt, and thousands of workers are fleeing the country rather than be tossed into debtor's prison (no bankruptcy court in Dubai).

Way Out of Date
This article is way out of date - for example it refers to buildings that will be completed in 2009! 24.47.61.206 (talk) 22:59, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Which Dubai? Clarification needed in lede
This article doesn't specify in the lede whether it's referring to the city of Dubai or the emirate of Dubai, and subsequent paragraphs are inconsistent on this. The very first sentence (giving a number for Dubai's GDP) hinges on which Dubai is meant, assuming the emirate outside the city has a collective GDP other than zero.
