The first super tsll skyscraper in Dubai was built in 1978, World trade center, also in the 1980s and 90s the Skyline of Deira Dubai boomed. All the tall buildings you see in Deira Dubai were built in the 1980s and 90s, some even in the 60s and 70s. People of today under estimate Dubai from the 1970s to 1990s period. It was very booming city back then.

JusmaVids few buildings

Now it looks like skyscraper Disneyland.

Weren't filming buildings, they were filming cars. So that's why you didn't see any. The place was packed with buildings even in the 70s.

@@OffGridInvestor Not true, LOL! Dubai was a small fishing village until the oil boom. It slowly turned into a small port in the 60's. It didn't even start exporting oil until 1969. Real estate barely got going in the mid-80s. The skyscraper madness didn't start until the late 90's. Even Dubai's now-extravagant airport was a tiny shadow of its current self when I first flew through there in 1999.

@@maniUSArmy I am pretty sure it was a big booming city by this time in the mid 90s though. I used to live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia back in the 90s and though I never visited Dubai, I remember it being hailed as the most developed city in the middle east even back then! Of course it probably won't compare to today's Dubai.

@Br M I don't think he is trying to stay humble, just saying if you have money to spend then do it.

Just an average bloke in Dubai.

We call that being rich ... and arab

Travos k well, I'm an Arab and I work on my 98 mitsu eclipse with my bare hands, I can barely afford parts and upgrades, these guys are the royal family, it's just like Britain with their queen

Bro I'm also an arab And i drive my dad's old civic

They weren't talking about the popular GTR models of the R32 or R33 but rather the middle eastern spec Skyline R31 or R30 or even earlier. Nissan did actually make LHD versions of the Skylines back in the 80's and 70's for the middle eastern markets. They did have some difference compared to the JDM or Aussie spec Skylines. They used to be a popular youth's car among car car enthusiasts as longs as your rich parents could afford buying a new one. Of course, skylines are really just an ordinary car that happens to have some sport coupe versions. Sadly Nissan stopped selling the Skyline in 1989/1990 so we didn't get the R32 generation. You could still find some old footage and photos of these cars around some social medias but most of these cars ended up in the junk yard so most R31 and R30 owners right now are older 30-40 year old's who imported one from RHD markets and probably converted the steering wheel to LHD.

Yup & it's cool 😎

The government which is basically the kingdom family has a budget of UNLIMITED. If they are Trillionaires now just imagine back in the 90s. Especially since they import the materials from cheap Asian markets.

I live in the emirates haven't seen a single cossworth ever in here

@@cat-em3mj wow, that's funny.. out of interest what do you drive? There's few Sierra's or escorts now , thankfully turned to rust 😉

@@vrossi2596 Don't have a license yet.

I live here too but have yet to see any Sierras or Escort Cosworths. Would love to have one though. They're a proper respected classic now. No longer a cheap thrashed street racer they once were.
