dubai

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

no offence but who in their right mind goes to dubai....... its an arab state they don't get the western culture which begs the question why did they build it, for the most part its 50 degrees.... too hot and it has no history or points of interest, just modern purpose built money collection units

I've been to Abu Dhabi twice and as it's only a short drive to Dubai we visited it a few times. I went to visit family friends who lived there but personally it's not somewhere I'd choose to go on holiday to otherwise. I prefer a bit of history. The main past time out there seems to be shopping.

I went because it’s 6 and a bit hours on a plane and is sunny. I chilled out in a nice hotel and went to brunches. It was a well needed winter break and the locals were cool. There was nothing much I couldn’t do in Dubai than I could do here.

It is like a High Rise Milton Keynes in the Desert though.

Qatar has much more history and I would probably go back there.

Spent a few weeks working in Abu Dhabi and quite enjoyed it. Dont think I would ever go back but they are tolerant of western ways as long as you are respectful of their rules and beliefs. Don't miss the 5am call to prayer though.

I've lived here for 2 years and it's never been 50 degrees in fact right now it's a cool 25.

I'm not sure why you have put up an unqualified post just assuming you have never been here. I suggest you learn about a culture before criticising it. It has more history and culture than you can imagine and I'm not sure why an Arab state has to 'get' western culture, isn't that the point of freedom?

It was built becuase their oil reserves are dwindling so they had to diversify their economy to tourism.

It's basically the Las Vegas of the Arab world. It has the same appeal and problems.

If you want a party town go to Lebanon.

They literally party like there is no tomorrow. And if you know your history you know why.

I saw buildings with bullet holes still in them. They just build around them.

It's also steeped in history.

Both Las Vegas and Dubai are both man made city’s, it’s very surreal when flying into in darkness, everything is straight lines, like a square board of lights. Weird.

I'm thinking of Omid Djalili talking about the western news agencies:

"When they want a middle east viewpoint they go to a muslim nutcase with one eye and a hook."

"That's like Al Jazeera going to The Grand Green Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan for Christian views;"

Texan voice: "I'm glad you asked that Mohammed, we believe in deaths to all arabs, jews, darkies, a giant burning cross over Jerusalem and a big yee haw boys"

Arabic voice: "Well there you have it, the views of the Christian west. Now here's Fatima with the sport"

western tourists in the main aren't very discerning, many are attracted by the weather or go for business or are attracted to something new but as i said purpose built to get the western world tourist industry and attract business keeping the people seperated in a little modern arabic haven its like a man made island, a 50 degree oven of modern hotels

I absolutly adore Dubai.

I've been 3 times and was considering moving there at one point.

It's a lot more tolerable than uneducated people think, you can drink and smoke out there with no trouble.

I've never once had a problem with the locals be that either the immigrants who go there for work or the Emirati's themselves.

Seems strange you would 1. Go to a arab country expected them to be westernized.

And 2. Say this about Dubai when there are so many immigrants there that they literally celebrate every holiday for every religion anyway

We absolutely love Dubai & have been around 15 times. Only a 6 hour flight with 3hr time difference for guaranteed weather. It has never been 50 degrees when we have been there (usually between 30-40).

Also I think you will find it’s only around 10% of locals actually live in the City. It is a multicultural city with lots of European/Australian/American people who class it as their home.

We have NEVER had an issue with religion and some of the made up stories are simply laughable! When there we drink lots of alcohol, dance of bar tables, kiss and cuddle in public & wear skimpy bikinis.

We love the luxury, the dressing up to go to top class restaurants and we also love the culture. The Desert Safari’s are brilliant, taking a old fashioned Dow across the creek is wonderful, The city museum is great and the modern architecture can’t be beaten.

We are all different and all different tastes which should be respected.

Do you think there are nudist beaches? Do you think the intolerance you seem to think exists is in part down to an inability to respect other cultures?

"no offence but who in their right mind goes to dubai.

I really enjoyed it. Stunning, modern architecture, interesting museum, lovely dhow ride on the creek, respectful people who don't hassle single women, quality hotels, sunshine. Great place for a break. lol oh well one happy HOT camper, I'm just not a fan of purpose built in an isolated area just to get tourist money from the westerners they despise , modern buildings are great and i too love architecture but that heat and the religious flavour don't appeal and i love the sun do they have nudist beaches in Dubai?

Who despises westerners? arabs, imams, terrorists,Abu Hamza etc

So it's gone from despised to frowned upon? Which is it because they are far from the same thing despised frowned same thing just lesser negativity but both negative

So was this thread about Dubai? Or Islam?dubai, manufactured, arabs, heat, money and tourism

I agree. Like Vegas. But with a bit more culture and heritage yes las vegas another place i have zero interest in visiting

What places are you interested in visiting?Japan, Hong Kong and Venezuela are three i will eventually visit

I wouldn’t bother with Japan and Hong Kong, boring as fuck and full of foreigners. Get yourself down to the Gold and Diamond park here for a bit of tax free shopping , you will love it. Then off to the mall for some Raybands, some YSL tack , a nice Gucci belt , embrace a bit of consumerism and chill out a little lol you enjoy not my thing i dont wear jewellery its just a form of rock, i do like to smell nice mind so YSL yes please 50 degrees far too hot and i love to be outside any nudist beaches in dubai?

Do you think there are nudist beaches? Do you think the intolerance you seem to think exists is in part down to an inability to respect other cultures?my question was knowing theyd be intolerant as you well know but as I'd never go it really dis ney matter

I'm not sure that nudist beaches are a measure of tolerance?

The fact you've asked the question twice is quite telling though isnt it?

They sell some lovely face plastic jewellery imported from China you might like? Never been near a rock

They have outside a/c in the summer it actually gets quite cold I wear a jumper when going out and there’s lots of Cashmir scarves to keep warm.

No nudist beaches but between 11 and 2, in your home you can wear just your underwear

I honestly think you need to give it a second chance, I never used to Like it here either, but now I love it, I have a “I heart Dubai” Tee shirt and everything
