I kept waiting to get something deeper out of the article, but I didn't. A rehashing of descriptions we have seen a lot of in the last year or so: lazy, bored Emiratis; rootless expats; South Asian serfs; vulgarity. No real insights.

I've worked in Dubai. I found the article pretty accurate. So much, that I was surprised to read on it the same analogies I've been doing myself to describe the country to my friends (an adult Disneyland, a soul-less country, a spoiled generation of young locals).
