Cityscape 2008


Cityscape is an exhibition for everyone in the construction industry: Developers, contractors, architects, consultants, real estate agents and investors. Basically, it means every one in Dubai.

If you can look beyond the huge traffic gridlock the show creates near the World Trade Centre where the exhibition is held, anyone in the industry should attend this show. It is like the mother ship of all the strange, weird and expensive projects. After spending 1 hour in traffic, 30 minutes looking for a carpark lot and another 30 minutes walking from the carpark to the Exhibition Hall, I reached the World Trade 2 hours late from my schedule.

Here are some photos taken in the show.
