OLYMPICS

If the United Arab Emirates is going to hold the 2008 Olympics, two cities will be considered to host it, Abu Dhabi the capital and Dubai the commercial capital. Both cities have good qualities to host the Olympics, but also they have differences that could affect the choosing. In general, Abu Dhabi is similar to Dubai that they are the biggest two cities in the country. Also, both of them have good facilities that make it easier for the Olympics. But to choose one city to host this big event, we must compare and consider many factors. First of all, Dubai has a better airport than Abu Dhabi. It's bigger and more experienced, since more tourists, visitors and businessmen go to the city. In addition to that, Dubai has more hotels, but that does not mean Abu Dhabi is not good in the hotels field. It has many good hotels; however, Dubai city still has better hotels like Burj Al Arab, which is considered seven stars hotel. On the other hand, Abu Dhabi has more stadiums to host the Olympics than Dubai. Moreover, Abu Dhabi city have been holding many sports events that makes it more experienced in organizing and systematization the Olympics. As regards the traffic jam, Dubai city is far more crowded than Abu Dhabi. Many times of the day, Dubai has traffic jam, while Abu Dhabi has rush hours only in the morning and the early evening. And in spite of Dubai city crowd, it has some kind of advantage. Dubai has many places that open 24 hours, whereas Abu Dhabi has only couple of small stations that open 24 hour. And though Dubai is more tourism city that has good market and many festivals, Abu Dhabi is quieter and more beautiful. Finally, if I would choose one city, I'd rather to choose Abu Dhabi city to host he 2008 Olympics event. It has more stadiums, which is the most important thing. Also, it is more experienced in organizing such an event and the city is quieter even though Dubai attracts many tourists.
