The city is developing fast. Constructions in Dubai are pretty much 24-hour-a-day process. It is common to see empty concrete carcasses fully lit up with neon lights. Together with the construction cranes on top, they appear like a troop of alien from the outer space.

This is an interior shot of Dubai International Airport. As I told you before, it is quite important to add local flavours to the airport’s look.

When you travel to a foreign country, immigration checkpoint is the first place you really encounter with local people or, well, local things. First impression could easily be created here, whether good or bad. Some countries try to put some effort in by creating local flavours within the immigration hall. You know what I’m talking about especially if you’ve been to Bangkok International Airport, for example. For Dubai, it’s a little bit different. What you find here is advertisements of country’s most exciting real estate developments. They are surely proud of what they are building.
