Have you been? Yes some of it is not my cup of tea (particularly elements of the club scene - although that is the same everywhere) but some parts are certainly not artificial and quite traditional actually. Great lifestyle, nice weather, tax free salary...the pros outweigh the cons for me

Yes, but some time ago and I know that it is something completely different today.
From my point, it was bad and it has changed to the worse.
Nevertheless, besides greed, there is no other sensible point to open an outpost in Dubai.

I have absolutely no intention of going...maybe the rooftop bar after work but not the club. I've seen the pictures and it is seriously 100% VIP, the clientele would not be for me.
Not sure how you can say it was bad when you went and now it has changed for the worse when you haven't been back since!

Not really trained..i am completely not in that bracket. Ecological, i can sort of agree with (however down in Abu Dhabi they are in the process of building a new sustainable city which is the biggest environmental effort in the world - Masdar.ae, not sure that it is the best way to spend the oil money but lets see!). Humanitarian? Don't know what you mean? Yes, when i came 10+years ago there were issues but not now as far as i am aware. They are seriously moving forward.

so, i think the promo is in full swing here for the opening... I just came back from Beriut and there are 2 channels on Emirates called "Pacha Ibiza" It was a bit weird....First tranche was like chill out, then you are told we are in the Red Bar (f*** sake) then we follow on to "the main room"...good luck to them, but not for me!!!

I get all of this, but as I have debated in the past, how can a brands like Pacha & Space can associate with countries like Dubai and Russia........... who stand for everything they SHOULD be against.
Look at the history of Pacha, and what it supposedly represented when it begun. Hippies, freedom, free love, everyone having fun under one roof. In Dubai you'd be hung if you got caugght with 1/2 a pill, if two guys kissed they'd be locked up and homosexuality is still illegal (I could go on and on)..... By putting your brand there you are agreeing with all of this and the dictatorship you have your club in....
I have the same issue with Space having a club in Moscow!

100percent agree. It's all about money. I ended up going to Space at nissami beach last night and it was like a school disco and I have to say that they are banishing their brand by selling out in this way. I've only looked at the pictures of Pacha opening and it looked appalling (although re your comment on homosexuals, it appears a lot of them were in attendance...not a bad thing but just saying)
