Theoretically, I can only visit one of the two. I vote for the one I can go to, even if I don't particularly want to go there. Dubai.

I was in Dubai in January and while it's  nice enough city if you have loads of money or if you are a local guy (they basically don't work and get everything in a silver platter from the government). It was probably the only trip where i completely cut spending in things that were not eating or accomodation because everything is too friggin expensive, i can't afford to go on vacation in july thanks to this Tongue
It's nice to visit once but the city is too much of a parody of what you could possibly do if you had loads and loads of cash to spend for no reason whatsoever except to say "Hey, look at me, the tallest building in the world!". And even the locals think that it will be a ghost city in the next few decades. They are spending way too much and oil is not going to last forever.

I vote Mecca

I have no idea what the hell is there to see in Kinshasa. From what i saw in Casablanca it doesn't really differ from any other big city in the "western world", i spent there 3 days and i hardly ever saw women dressed like anything other than what regular western girls wear. while far from being the best city in Morrocco, Casablanca is certainly good and modern enough to win this.

I vote Casablanca

I just land on that thread, and well, I fear it wasn't a pic of Baghdad here. Grin

Well, it isn't hard for me to vote against a city from that region with such an awful hot wet climate that is the one of Congo, and I find the fast modernity growing in Casablanca quite interesting on some levels, not on all though.

Then Casa' as we say in France.
