"A stretch of the exclusive Jumeirah Beach — a magnet for Western tourists and home to a string of hotels — has been closed. “It’s a cesspool. Our tests show too many E. coli to count. It’s like swimming in a toilet,” said Keith Mutch, the manager of the Offshore Sailing Club, which has posted warnings and been forced to cancel regattas.The pollution is a blow to Dubai’s reputation as an international holiday destination offering almost guaranteed sunshine and clear seas."
In the summer, when there was no rain, and no municipal sewage system (still isn't), everyone fly-dumped their sewage into the storm drains. Now that it has been raining, several months of sewage have been flushed out into the Gulf as if it was rain water... What a shitty collection of under-infrastructured, poorly built towers in the sweaty desert.
