Working Lives Dubai explores the effects of the financial aftershock on the lives of ordinary - and extraordinary - people there.

From a man who rents out Lamborgini's by the hour to an impoverished truck driver from Afghanistan, from a top property lawyer to the man who runs Dubai's leading "authentic Arabian desert experience" (which employs no Arabs at all) the programme aims to cross the social and economic divides.

From construction sites hidden from general view, to the brashness of the world's biggest shopping malls... a multinational cast of colourful characters and fantastic situations cast light onto the impact and opportunities created by the Credit Crunch.

Amir Paivar takes a fast, furious, and frequently funny, look at the state of Dubai, an oasis of consumer capitalism, once described as the Middle East's "City of Dreams."

But is the dream now over?
