20. Well, there are no green forests in the UAR or the Emirate of Dubai...

...so I don't think they had a lot of choice in the matter. Dubai has long been an important port and shipping terminal, so it's not like they built a city there apropos of nothing (as opposed to Las Vegas, which exists where it does mostly because of gambling laws and its proximity to Los Angeles...)
