    Dubai Marina

    Dubai Marina and JLT - COMBINED @Revolutionary - Good point. JLT and Dubai Marina are staring at each other all day every day anyways!! I'd still hold off on the buying a bargain for now as you will find much better bargains mid 2009. Just short term let it if you don't need it yourself.

    Which country should I buy in?

    You are right on the money there if you can deal with a little bit of risk. It's often said that "...when theres blood on the streets, buy property...". Don't know who said it but he was dead right. Pakistan JUST discovered democracy and is a partner in the USA's war on terror. The capital...
