That was an amazing convention we had in Toronto Nick!!

BTW When I worked in Bahrain foreigners were not permitted to purchase real-estate, I believe the same law applies to Dubai.

Actually, someone told me that foreigners can own certain types of Dubai real estate (freehold) and they keep adjusting the property laws to get more foreign capital in.

Like I said: "Some people have too much money!!"

Two couples from our former dinner party group haved worked in Kuwait and Dubai in the last 5-6 years. The stories they tell are incredulous until you realize they were there and they are firsthand stories!!!

You are correct, I was not aware of the change. I last worked in Bahrain in 1992 and the laws have changed there as well, my info is dated.
