Dubai Old and New
By Karen Burns
If you have lived in Dubai for any length of
time you will appreciate how quickly
infrastructure can change here, everyday
there seems to be a new flyover, tower or
road being built. I have been here for over
25 years now and Dubai has changed out
of all recognition (almost). When my oldest
daughter was small I used to push her in
her pushchair across the Sheikh Zayad
Road to the Trade Centre appartments to
catch a taxi!
Next time you are in classroom 2 have a
look out out of the window to see if you
can spot any of these buildings – they are
all still there, but there is quite a lot more
going on now!
Just in case you will not be in our office
soon here is a recent picture, a slightly
different angle and further away but Dubai
College (red buildings) can still be seen as
can the palaces (one under construction)
and the little Mosque’s minaret poking up
from behind a new building.
