The modern Arab world!! You have seen those architectural wonders of Dubai .
However, none are hooked up to a sewer system!

The two minute video below passes a line of poop trucks and never gets to the end of the line. What were these people thinking?

An unbelievable amount of sewage is generated by the new high-rises and there is no place to dispose of it. Camel sense seems about right!

Dubai doesn't have a sewage system for all those big new buildings so they haul it all away in tank trucks.
Look at the number of tank trucks that are waiting to dump their load.

This is amazing. They wait for days to dump their load.

You would have thought that by building all those huge skyscrapers they would have enough sense to put in a sufficient sewage system to haul away all that crap.

You would imagine that those building that look amazingly beautiful were built on a well-planned system of utilities. But, that's NOT TRUE!!

This can't top a good old fashioned dog poop thread.

Imagine what that does to their 'Trip Advisor' rating.

Info from Wikipedia says the issue did exist in 2009 but states that ".....at present the entirety of Dubai is connected to a central sewage system", citing an article from Oct. 2012 as their source:

Old video while building going on. This is how crazy rumors start. Dubai is a very modern city with very modern everything!

[wendyquat]

Just wondering where they dumped it!

I would think that the sewage line is one of the first things that should go into a build-up.

In the early 80's I lived in a neighborhood in Seoul, Korea that didn't have a central sewage system. The SSTs (S*** Sucking Trucks) came through just about every day.

One day, as I was walking to work, I was nearly run over by one of the sewage trucks. I was imagining the Army having to notify my next of kin that I was killed by a truck full of poop.

Delicate little flower?

A fast shooting pistol is more like it. But a thoughtful one

Now that would not look good on a tombstone. I wonder how they would write it?

Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body and the poop smeared on it, that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself.
