Have you even been to Dubai? It's more happening place than SF. Clearly you have no idea and can't differentiate b/w Saudi and Dubai.

Look at the visa policy for unmarried women under 30 for Dubai. It's not SA yes, but is still restrictive update: It seems the restriction on women traveling who don't have husbands/fathers has been relaxed/ended. Looking more into it. Update 2: On UAE Embassy for US no mention of restrictions But not the case for other countries. For Indian women one provider states: For female applicants and students who are above 18 years and travelling alone require NOC from parents / husband, Photo ID of parents/ husband. Coloured copy of the host passport / residence visa

    That reasoning could be used to justify a lot of things. (I know you may be stating their reasoning and not I am not saying you are endorsing that)

      I totally don't endorse that. But it gets better, last month they removed visas for Russians and I'm coming soon!

  Try to get Schengen or US visa if you're a single woman under 30. Visa officers will openly treat you as a prostitute.

I haven't. They won't allow me to enter, because of my nationality, ever. Please tell me more about how Dubai is like SF except with more relaxed visa laws. I certainly will never be able to experience it myself, since only SF will let me in, so I'll have to rely on your stories for comparison.
