I believe this is a very challenging topic. The Arab world definitely needs a hub for startups and I think Dubai is a very good place for such a place. It's true that there are some challenges there but every place choice will have some. Egypt (which would have been my first choice a few years ago) is not the best option now for all the economical and political challenges in there. Dubai on the other hand seems to progress very fast and will be more likely to set the right basis for entrepreneur and start ups to grow. It is also attractive because it attracts many talents from all over the world and its still growing economically. Having lived almost my whole life in Gaza, i believe Gaza Sky Geeks is currently the Silicon Valley for Gaza; and we can already see many young graduates getting engaged in all it's activities. It won't be long before the majority of students join it to work from there and it will need to grow by many factors to accommodate it. It is no longer a good-to-have, rather it's becoming a necessity and soon one of the pyramids for economic development in the country.
