Summary:

A huge sandpit -- that is what Dubai and its environs used to be like, but then the Arabs struck oil and the madness began. Now no dream is too grand not to come true in Dubai. The little emirate with its population of 1.4 million is currently undergoing unprecedented growth. 30 percent of the world's cranes are at work there now, and they are building more magnificently than anywhere on the planet: hotels of pure gold, the tallest tower in the world and artificial islands in the Persian Gulf. This documentary provides a fascinating tour of Dubai in which dreams and inconceivable wealth are everyday life and where all that glitters IS in fact gold.
