That means the Flame of the Olympics, which was first lit in Athens in the eighth century BC, and then re-emerged in the Greek capital in 1896, may have travelled far and wide to almost every country in Europe or to North America and, more recently, Asia, but it has skipped the land very close to its origin. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.business24-7.ae/Articles/2009/6/Pages/29062009/06302009_6fa87042177f45b4a73ef7d20ed8f5ed.aspx"><DIV>Two Arab contenders have now emerged to contest for the 2020 Olympics – Dubai and Doha.
