Poverty in the Land of Plenty

Despite all the wealth, there are also social aid projects in Dubai. The “Ansar” shopping center offers free food for those in need – easily accessible on a special shelf. Here, people can take what they need without questions or bureaucracy.

Sometimes even people with luxury cars reach for it. This may seem strange, but it shows that everyone is equal in times of need. A gesture of solidarity that sets an important example in an otherwise so ostentatious city.
