DUBAI // Sir Anthony Evans walks into one of the conference rooms at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road. With evident satisfaction he gestures towards the 110-acre commercial free zone that is the Dubai International Financial Centre.
“It was just a fenced-in patch of desert when I first came here,” he says. “It’s incredible how it’s all come up in such a short time.”
The same could be said for the rapid development of the whole of the UAE, but in Dubai perhaps nothing symbolises that pace of change so much as The Gate, the imposing building at the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre, that has so dramatically altered the skyline.
