There is a small town in the middle of the desert here in Australia. House prices (to buy or to rent) were (literally) dirt cheap. Then a big company opened a new Mine there and people from all over the country flocked there. House prices and rental rates went through the roof! Like, 1000% increase. People that had property there before the Mine were sitting on a gold mine (forgive the pun).

I can only imagine Dubai is about 1000 times worse, and on a global scale.

Andoy - you wouldn't happen to have a photo gallery of some of the more 'traditional' architecture of your region?
