O h the lure of Dubai: A monument to gold and imagination! In the 1960's, vast oilfields were discovered under the sands of the United Arab Emirates. And in the spirit of Molly-Brown-meets-Vegas, it was time to spend. Flush with money, the ruling family of Dubai decided to do something about their environment. And they had a task on their hands. Dubai is a dessert and being on the southern shore of the Arabian gulf only contributes to its challening weather. Dubai is hot, really hot (104F during the summer months), dry (as in no rain dry) but also humid (the Gulf), all the attributes necessary to create an atmospheric miso soup.
