English term or phrase: Is Dubai really such a success story – or will time tell a different tale?
Había pensado traducirlo así:

"¿Es realmente Dubai tal crónica de éxito –o el tiempo nos contará otra historia? "

Pero me gustaría tener más sugerencias.

El contexto:

Is Dubai really such a success story – or will time tell a different tale? While there is no doubting the vision and drive behind this incredible transformation, Dubai’s affluent Disneyland lifestyle is built on, literally, the poorly paid labour of workers from the subcontinent, and is surely unsustainable in terms of both basic humanity and environmental common sense.
