<span style="font-size: 85%;">Stephen A. Prophet spent 2004-2006 working in Dubai, one of the seven federal states that form the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The tiny sheikdom of Dubai is a bustling financial and tourist center that runs down the Persian Gulf and around the Strait of Hormuz situated next door to Oman and Saudi Arabia.</span><span style="font-size: 85%;">“Dubai City is a modern day El Dorado,” says Stephen. "With an estimated 25,000 new arrivals every 30 days, it's no wonder foreign nationals outnumber the local Emirati population by nearly 6 to 1. All hungry for work, money, adventure, and the promise of a better life. For many, Dubai, warts and all, clearly has the allure and the audacity to be the next great New York City,” explains Stephen.</span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="color: white;">___</span></span></div>
