Internet City - IBM, Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett-Packard - ditto, and in a complex barely a USB connection away. The six-lane highway which runs through town, a black ribbon stretching from Sharjah to Abu Dhabi, is straddled by Porsche and Mercedes showrooms, office buildings and hotels and vast empty sandy spaces where you know that, within six months, there will be another towering edifice which defies the laws of construction. Certainly the lights at this crossroads between East and ...
