Dubai Miracle or Mirage: A Documentary by National Geographic

DUBAI: MIRACLE OR MIRAGE? is a one-hour documentary that examines the world's most fascinating and fastest developing city-states. From ski slopes in the desert to man-made islands grouped to look like continents, Dubai is like no other place in the world. Surrounded by war zones, Dubai is an oasis of calm and the home of superlatives – the biggest building, the largest airport, the tallest hotel, the biggest mall, the richest horse race... the list goes on. Forty years ago it was a sleepy backwater, now Dubai is a magnet for the young and ambitious.
