Manhattan of Arabia

In this Sept. 22, 2015 photo, a laborer carries his lunchbox as he leaves a construction site for the day at the Palm Jumeirah opposite the Marina district, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Armies of low-paid migrant workers, many of them from the Indian Subcontinent, leave behind families and travel to Dubai to build soaring towers like those in the Marina. While the wages they come for offer hope of a better life, they are far too meager for most to ever dream of calling the Marina they built home. (AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili)
