What is forex? The forex market is where one currency is traded for another. It is the largest market in the world, not only in Dubai. You can learn a lot about the most famous city of the Emirates and its amazing airport and also tallest tower in the world. its amazing airport. You could try following their forex trading plan (at your own peril), or set up your own forex blog to better learn forex. That way, you can at least take note of the reasons for taking specific trades, what forex chart patterns they are looking at, and get some valuable forex tips from them. Don't forget about calculating the support and resistance area for the forex pairs you're following by using a Fibonacci calculator. This will help you immensely in your trading as most speculators will be looking at the same price levels, and you could possibly predict the moves of currency pairs.

I was at a reception in a luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi once and an Arab guy told me something I still remember "all that looks like gold here IS gold".
Well, in Spain we say "No todo lo que reluce es oro" - "Not all that glitters is gold". I think it is absolutely true with the booming of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, etc etc the whole region.
Arabs are in so much in need of prper eduation, but what happens is exploitation of the poorest people. You can educate so many illiterate arabs, (and I am not talking only about the Emirates here obviously,) or you can build the tallest building in the world, the 7- 8 9- star hotel, the largest amusemnt park ever, and all such superficial things
I hope i have not been too negative here. Looking at the issue in the positive side, these poor workers might be better off than in tehir home lands... but still, where are their passports? are they free?

Many of the men have had their passports taken away by the
employment agencies they paid to come here and do not know when they
will be able to go home
as you said, the education is needed for the Arabs and actually even for some emiratis

It sucks BUT, these photos hardly
prove maltreatment except being underpaid perhaps, but pay is determined by laws of supply and demand. It's a capitalist economy, right? Most of them are surely happy just to have that opportunity to work and earn some money, no matter how little it seems to us.
Also their meal as shown in the picture is not that bad, really. We have to lookm at things in perspective
I was in Dubai
few weeks ago. It was my first time and probably I haven’t seen enough to have an
objective opinion but this is my personal opinion.
On Friday (I think all Fridays are the same) I saw hundreds
of men (workers) walking through the city, sitting in parks and public places,
these men look like lost souls.
They are worlds apart between the luxury and brilliance of new
buildings in Dubai
and the sadness of these men.
by the way the Queen Elizabeth mega ship is coming today... Life continues as usual in Dubai..
It's slavery. without it no huge project would be possible in dubai. The ancient egyptiens used slaves to build their graves (the pyramids), nothing nwe under the sun
I don't see any signs of slavery in these photos. The issue about labourers' shelter and living conditions has many time been discussed and we've also heard enough of how the government has punished irresponsible employers and got proper regulation in place.
Much less in the limelight but more disturbing is the issue of the number of families / people sharing one villa / flat / room in Dubai. And these are not labourers but people of all range of jobs - waitress, driver, scuba instructor, sales rep, accountant, engineer... etc. The only similarity shared by these people are, they are not a citizen of either GCC, US, UK or other privileged Anglo or 'Western' countries.
