I was thinking about staying in one of your rooms for a few nights, but I can't afford those prices! However, I should be grateful if you could let me know the origin of the word "Dubai". When I was at school, we learnt that "du" means "of the" when applied to a masculine noun. Does this mean that Dubai is the land of the Bai people? However, the Bai people include both masculine and feminine people, which is how they manage to breed.

Have the rules changed?
