Just curious
Which direction do you pray to Mecca, when you're on another planet?
More seriously, I wonder how they are actually going to build the Habitats because thats actually one of the main stumbling blocks of a colony. If you need low cost workers to put it up in the UAE, thats not really replicatable on Mars - but considering the UAE laws on Migrant workers and the Kafala System, I wouldnt put it past them to try...
