you know, I give it to Dubai for doing this. Their economy will soon revolve around tourism and not oil. I believe they are already down to 40% oil revenue and each year it is going down by 8%.

They also allow drinking and men and women to go to the beaches/pools together. They have clubs and bars, etc.
They have beant their traditions to allow tourism, bravo.

The only problem with Dubai is that it is HOT. If you can stand humidity this place is amazing.
