Between Dubai and Qatar, the common point is : A

QATAR has 2 A and DUBAI has only 1 A

The remaining are different

1).Doha is wealthy because of natural Gas, but Dubai is fully depends on tourisam.

2).Doha seems as village as compared with Dubai.

3).Infrastructure in Doha should be improved to reach Dubai.

4).Variety of Malls and entertainment in Dubai, but in Doha?

5).No Exit permit needed in Dubai

6).Lot of parks in Dubai, which makes DUBAI covered by Green Blanket.here very less Park.

All roads are having proper platform, here in Doha it is not available.

7).Dubai you can get all elec/ Gold /food items are cheap.

8).Here lot of dublicate elec. items are available in market.

9),Doha finacial condition is sound, but Dubai market fall down.

10).Doha qataris are more helpful than Dubai people.

No Comparison at all.....Between Dubai & Doha

1. Nos of Towers

2. Nos of Multi-lane Roads

3. No of Mega Construction Projects

4. Implementation of Metro

5. Traffic Jam - (Here Doha Wins!!!)

6. Unorganised Sports Sector

7. Exit Permit

8. Re-entry Ban Time Limit

9. Tourism.

On all the above Dubai wins unanimously except no. 5. All this without the massive Oil/Gas Reserves that Qatar enjoys.

Where is the comparison......maybe only the weather is similar.
