Dubai , one of the leading forces in the international finance , trading center and investments , that holds luxury hotels and resorts , has experienced the decline and turned from boom into bust due to the economic crisis that hit the world . Most of the companies in Dubai, that were a magnet for South Asian workers, were going bankrupt and Indian and Pakistani workers went out of work. Zafar Abbasi is a sample of the consequences of the crisis, he lost his job and now has no money at least to satisfy his physiological needs. He says :”No money for the foods [sic], everything is so expensive, medicine and rents,” . Most of the workers and builders of Dubai were foreign workers and now they’re forced to leave this city , but unfortunately many employees were stuck there because their passports are held.
