The floating population or daytime people of Dubai has evidently swollen by about one million, so what about the night time people I wonder?

Yeah - I saw that statistic too.............

Are they saying that two million actually live here, and another one million float in for the day, and then leave again? How do they get here? By car?? From where? Sharjah?

I could have believed the number was very high based on the road between Dubai and Sharjah, back in 07...
