#4. SONAPUR-THE LABOR CAMP IN DUBAI
Sonapur is a small neighborhood in Dubai which you probably don’t know. I mean, despite the fact that Sonapur means “Land of Gold” in Hindu, it has nothing to do with gold, in contrary, Sonapur is the home of all the poor labor workers in Dubai. Over the years, it became the labor camp which attracts more and more semi-slaves from the third-world countries.
According to estimations, over 150,000 laborers are living (surviving) in Sonapur under the unbearable conditions. Eight or more workers usually share one tiny room, hundreds share one bathroom, and they are also lucky if they get any food on a given day. On top of that, those people have to work long hours every day because… because they have no other choice.

How Dubai solves this problem? well, they don’t think it is any kind of problem as long as laborers build fancy hotels and skyscrapers. So yeah, they do nothing with their legal labor camp which is barely better than the Gulags.
#3. WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT THAT WILD IN DUBAI
People in Dubai have so much money that they don’t know where to spend it anymore. Some buy golden cars; others swim in the pool full of dollar bills. Don’t get me wrong-that is alright as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. However, it is trending in Dubai to own a wild animal.
The sheiks are not happy with dogs and cats anymore, so they just buy themselves a tiger, panther, leopard, lion or any other exotic animal. Of course, this is not “The Walking Dead”, and the sheiks are not as good with wild animals as king Ezekial. Naturally, many animals suffer in Dubai just because rich men want to show-off amongst their buddies.

Of course, many people around the world think that it is something cool to have a tiger as a pet, but in reality, wild animals are supposed to be in the wild. You can be as rich as you want, but it is impossible to change the law of nature.
