THE DONALD OF DUBAI

摘要

When donald trump called last December for banning Muslims from entering the United States, Hussain Sajwani knew he had to sit tight. The Dubai real estate tycoon was overseeing a project grandiose even by Dubai's extravagant standards. (This is, after all, the emirate that is home to a massive artificial island in the shape of a palm tree, an indoor skiing mountain and the world's tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa.) Set on 964 acres, Sajwani's new Akoya community, about a 15-minute drive from the heart of Dubai, will feature lavish villas, mansions, apartments and its own retail center. The centerpiece of the gated property is a golf course bearing the Trump name-a name long associated with success in the Arab world.
