The Dubai Expat Diaries

Although Dubai hasn’t yet made an official bid for the 2020 Olympics, the emirate is conducting feasibility studies to weigh the pros and cons of hosting the Olympic games.

According to Arabian Business, in a recent interview Sheikh Mohammed stated:

“Dubai already has a well-developed infrastructure and a good track record of staging international sporting events, although admittedly not on the scale of the Olympic Games…We will have to take an honest look at our weaknesses as well as our strengths.”

“I can assure you of this, though: If we decide to make a bid for the Olympics, we will be in it to win. We would not take such a step unless we were quite serious about it.”

The weather may be one of the biggest hurdles for the emirate though, with the summers here being extremely harsh. But Dubai has so far had a great record in beating the odds, proudly making a name for itself in the world. So you never know!
