That's breach of copyright--the title already belongs to the UK.

Ubar , part 2.
New Ubar aka Dubai


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubar
http://www.islamicity.com/Science/Ubar/

Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),- Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars, The like of which were not produced in (all) the land? (The Holy Qur'an: Surat al-Fajr, 6-8)
According to legend, god destroyed Ubar because of the inhabitants' greed,glutony and wickedness.

The similarities (in morality) between Dubai and the lost Southern Arabian city of Ubar are striking. You just know that there are a lot of locals privately comparing Ubar to Dubai. I am just surprised it isn't something mentioned in news articles.
