From the 44th floor of a skyscraper expected to become the world's tallest building, Mohammad Ali Alabbar, CEO of Emaar Corporation, surveys Dubai's downtown. Scheduled to be finished next year, Emaar's Burj Dubai will contain apartments, offices, and an Armani hotel. For the past 30 years Dubai's rulers have built big and fast, using oil money from the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere in the Persian Gulf to turn a modest fishing port into a booming center of business, banking, trade, and real estate.
