Dubai wasn't mentioned....
So it begs the question, if the land of the sand isn't in the top or bottom 10, where is it?
And could it really be worse than Tehran or Algiers here?

Doh! In the middle.
Perhaps those are the best places according the the criteria of those who compliled the list, but no everyone wants the same thing.
I do get very tired by the negativity of so many people. Dubai isn't perfect, but it's far from a bad place to live.

Re: Surprise, Surprise
Very true. I get very pissed off with some things here like the Municipalities Incompetency and other silly paper trail regulations and driving sense etc... and l compare with UK and complain. But what we do not realise is that Dubai is doing well for being only 15-20 yrs into its making. And the people, well, Dubai has its mix of all kinds, but also has its share of quite nice beings!!!
