> I had female friends talking about going to holiday in Dubai
You get a 1-dimensional perspective every time something local goes wrong and is masqueraded as international news. Its like if a civil rights violation from one US city on any given day was elevated to the world stage. It would sound like much more of a nightmare than anything going on in the UAE.
Most females I've talked to absolutely love Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Even people that have moved there.
The best analogy to the experience is Disney World. Lots of thrills, and adult sexual behavior is stifled, except for minor infractions instead of simply thrown out of the park you'll be thrown in a horrible prison.
The fact of the matter is that you're not one of the slaves. That side of things won't be your experience.
You hope you don't get sexually assaulted and judicially victim blamed, and thats the same anywhere.
- newfoundglory 8y agoMost women I know wouldn't go there - including myself. Maybe we run in different circles.
- sundvor 8y agoYeah, you read about women reporting rape, then being jailed for extramarital sex, and realise that ... no, just no.

- mnm1 8y agoDubai is not safe for anyone to visit. You can have a microscopic spec of cannabis on your shoe or three poppy seeds and you get years in jail. That's not at all like everywhere else. In fact, it's laws like these that typically get places labeled uncivilized and barbaric. In Dubai's case I think the slavery, oppression of women, and other laws typically fulfill that label even better. No place with such laws is a place I would visit or encourage anyone to visit. Who knows what other stupid laws they will try to enforce on unsuspecting travelers who don't even know they are in violation? https://newsone.com/409392/brit-jailed-in-dubai-for-4-years-for-speck-of-marijuana-on-shoe/ https://newsone.com/409392/brit-jailed-in-dubai-for-4-years-...
