The Sheikh Satisfied with New Nakheel Projects



Two new major projects have been ordered to be started in The Palm Jumeirah by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Makhtoom. Nakheel who is the builder of this mega project sought the approval from the ruler of Dubai in this regard and briefed the Sultan about it who approved both the Pointe and Nakheel. According to the estimate, these massive projects will collectively cost AED 3.3 billion out of which Nakheel Mall is the major contributor with a cost of AED 2.5 billion as per the initial assessment.
The briefing was given to the Sheikh by the Nakheel’s Chairman Mr. Ali Rashid who told him about the projects in complete details. He revealed that the Nakheel Mall will be constructed 1 million square feet and he also told about the Pointe which is the other of the two projects. The Palm Jumeirah is shaped like a Palm and the Pointe will have a walk around the palm shaped walk and there will be a lot more than this. There are going to be shops in this Pointe along with the fountains and a marina.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Makhtoom was satisfied with the briefing and said that the engineering design was satisfactory but he felt the need of more charms for the tourists. Nakheel is having some problems with its finances as it has a lot of debt to pay but it has showed a profit of 57% increment in the year 2012. But the experts at Bayut believe that it still has some huge projects at hand and with improving financial position, there are fair chances of it bouncing back.

Dubai is a Charmer for Investors and Tourists



The international community has been looking towards Dubai for the past several years as it is one of the most famous cities in the world today for business, education, job opportunities and tourism. This is the reason why the country has been getting so good a response from the global investors and some of the biggest companies and organizations have set up their regional or central head offices in the Dubai City. Some of the top marble companies in the world have set up their regional offices in Dubai, though there main centers are in Europe and North America.
Another example is of the International Cricket Council which had its office in the historical Cricket stadium of Lord’s in the London City, however, as the focus of Cricket has now turned to Asia and the Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are major revenue generators for the ICC, they have established their central head-office in Dubai. They could have set it up in any other part of the world or any country in Asia but Dubai was preferred because of the excellent conditions and a great commercial environment in the city and at the same time the tax system of Dubai also suits the organizations.
For years, the international flights that fly to long distances have been taking stay-overs at Dubai Airport and getting their tanks refilled here. This not only shows the confidence of the international community in the United Arab Emirates but also depicts the great diplomatic ties that the UAE has been able to establish with most of the world through its brilliant public relations strategy. The amenities that this city provides to the investors and expats make it one of the most preferred places for investment in the region and the outstanding locations and attractions like Dubai Marina, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Mall etc. make it an alluring charm for the tourists as well.

Disinformation in Ads Admitted by Better Homes CEO



Better Homes is a firm in the United Arab Emirates that deals in e-marketing for properties in all the cities of the country. After being reported by certain people, the CEO of the Better Homes, Mr. Ryan Mahoney admitted the other day that at times, the wrong information has been shared on their website. While talking to Dubai Eye’s Business Breakfast, he admitted that there have been incidents in which the information updated on the websites was incorrect and he was not at all sorry for it because it was not his mistake as per him. He says that the agent was actually responsible for it.
He also said that the agents and manager are responsible for such mistakes as the website can not keep track of every agent and every property. The matter was first investigated and then reported in news on Tuesday that the website had been providing incorrect information in the descriptions of the properties at certain instances. There were blunders in which Dubai Metro was told to be running through The Palm Jumeirah while at other places where shopping malls were praised but they did not actually exist.
He said that the mistake could be called as a system error or more appropriately a human error because it was just a mistake and though there was some false information displayed regarding the routes of the bus but at least there were no fake properties or cheating being done by the website. He blamed the agents for it and said that they must know everything before they put up information on the website so that such errors do not get repeated.

Dubai – Perfect for Everything



The point at which all the other cities in the region get stumped by the majestic Dubai City is that it is a place for all and hardly there is something on Earth that Dubai is not perfect for. Even ice skating can be done in this desert city as they have made an entire floor for ice skating at the Dubai Mall which is the largest shopping mall of the world as well and is being considered to be further expanded as the business opportunities are expanding in the city and so is the business. This one line (previous one) tells that this city is excellent for tourism and at the same time exceptional for business as well.
This is not about the natural resources now as most of people think about the Arab cities that have progressed in the recent years that they have developed themselves on the back of the rich mineral resources. Fact tis that the Dubai City does not possess huge oil reserves and the main feature that it has developed as a city is the business and tourism opportunities that attract people from all parts of the world making it one of the biggest hosts of expats in the world. As the business is booming in the city and there are all the chances of progress, job seekers from all parts of the globe come here and earn respectable livings.
On the other hand the administration of the city is fully aware of the importance of education in the city and top quality universities and colleges have been set up in the city and it has become a center of learning and education in a very short span of time. Healthcare facilities are excellent and Dubai Healthcare Authority has been extremely pro-active in this regard. Dubai Healthcare City is another step in the same direction. The festivals and sports events also charm the tourists and all these spectacular make the city of Dubai as one of the most sought after places on the face of the planet today.
