While Dubai boasts skyscrapers and shopping malls, the population of 9,890,400 means bureaucracy is a persistent headache. The harsh desert climate creates weather challenges, and the authoritarian government severely restricts civil liberties. Overall, Dubai Festival City offers an artificial, controlled lifestyle that may appeal to some expats, but the tradeoffs likely outweigh the benefits for most.
