Just to mention a few:- Wynn Casino (First Casino in the GCC states) in Ras al Khaimah- Al Maktoum International Airport (set to become the worlds busiest airport)- Palm Jebel Ali (the second palm bigger and more luxurious)- Expo City (Regions largest exhibition center)Its a lot of information but I believe it gives a simple explanation to the complex market here.Let me know if you would like to know more about the market and if you would need guidance into exploring the possibilities here!

Do I have to wait for J.
