Does it matter that the Burj Dubai will be delayed by another three months, and will not be ready until December?
This is an icon which will tell a story of Dubai in 100s of years. A couple of months don't matter.
54%
It is a shame it will not be ready for the metro, but in the grand scheme it's not so important.
12%
Some deadlines are as important as the building. They show the city is able to meet its own targets.
13%
Dubai could have had such an impact on 9/09/09 globally, putting the city back on the map. A shame.
21%
Do you think that Paris Hilton’s recent visit to Dubai will help to present a positive message of the city and the UAE?
Yes, she embraced the traditions and customs perfectly, and will have raised the UAE's profile.
40%
Any celebrity visiting is good, but are Paris' fans the kind of people the UAE wants as visitors?
11%
Paris who? What has she done, again? It won't make any difference. Won't affect visitor numbers.
21%
It will show the UAE in an unfavourable light. Wrong person and values for an Islamic country.

When do you expect the economy to reach 'the bottom' and for market and trading conditions to begin picking up?
We have reached the bottom. Things will stabilise over the summer and begin real improvement in Q3.
14%
We will begin to see improvements in Q4 after Ramadan and the summer are over. Summer will be quiet.
20%
There will be a slight improvement in Q4 over Q3, but only because Q3 is going to be awful.
12%
Forget any improvement this year. Expect a slight improvement in Q1 or 2 of next year. Inshallah.
53%
Will you be looking for a pay rise this year, or will you be happy just to keep your job with your current employer?
If I don't get a significant increase, I am leaving. There are other opportunities out there for me.
33%
I want an above inflation increase. Our business is growing, and I have been a major factor in that.
19%
An inflation increase. We're all working the hours to ensure we survive. I should not be worse off.
10%
Just let the company, and my job survive. Now is not the time to be worrying about pay rises.
38%
Is there still a major summer slow down in the Middle East region, or is that now a thing of the past?
A thing of the past - last summer was no slower for my business. On the contrary, we kept growing.
11%
Depends where you are talking about. It's no longer slower in more international cities like Dubai.
15%
It will be slower this year than last because of the summer, and because of Ramadan.
26%
Expect a ghost town with the financial crisis, Ramadan and the summer all hitting at the same time.
48%
Dubai yesterday announced the prices of its metro. Are they exceptional value, or is rip off Dubai rearing its head?
AED 6.50 makes it cheaper than other metros around the world. Inspired and enlightened.
26%
Good, intelligent pricing, but as other lines are added will fares be increased? That's the fear...
26%
Dubai has multiple demographics. For some it's cheap, but for others these prices are out of bounds.
14%
It is expensive. Should have cost half of this to make it a mass transport system.
