I thought it would be nice to show how Qatar developed in the span of just a few years.
Doha is the next Dubai and is now the world's fastest growing city.
Nothing - 2002
Time to decorate - 2004
We're getting there - 2005
Looking good huh? 2006
Believe it or not, this is only 1/10 of what's to come in this particular view alone.

Don't you just love cheap labour for getting project done on time?

Gotta love them of course, however I should mention that Qatar is the forerunner in bring Human Rights and upping the standard for Labourers, not just in the reason but in the world.
See here for LOADS of info and pics of one project for labourers for example. This one is 'Workers City'.

the night shots are nice, i would imagine that a "no oil so its just mud huts and tents" would be less appealing tho

Last picture is awesome, I just love some of the MEGA scraper designs.
There are probably more now, but I couldn't find a better diagram.
