Name world class cities with no water around it

[DaWhim]

I have lived in HK and NY, now in london. all these cities are either has a river run through it or right next to the sea.

It is hard to think of a city with no water around it. I can think of think Madrid and Atlanta.

Vegas?

There's a good reason why most major cities are surrounded or near Water.

Denver?

Major cities always start next to a river since that is the most important resource. Serves as water source and means of transportation.

No ocean no trading docks. California is rich because of its proximity to all the cargo ships coming from asia.

QFT. Which is dumb because now they're running low on water and don't know what to do. They're actually trying to figure out a way to 'redraw' the state line on the North boundary so they'll be able to get water from the TN River.

At least 2 major rivers runs through it, plus the grand canal.

Thank God Phoenix has the Salt River. It would be a total armpit w/o it.

Several rivers in that area I think.

Damascus qualifies though I think.
And does Jerusalem have water running through it? Don't think it does.

Damascus is on river Barada. Jerusalem has water problems. I think that is the best answer so far. But again it depends on your definition of major city.
