I never get over the difference between roads in the UAE vs KSA...

I have 23 speed bumps between the front gate and my house

I had to drive round the back of Dubai to find a CoViD testing centre today - they had some whoppers in there - You should definitely visit the Northern Emirates - much easier on the suspension!!

Did a 500km trip today North of Riyadh

Stopped at this 1500 year old ld village .

I am still able to ignore a crying child for 60+ km

I spent some time in Dubai on a business trip. Stayed at the Durj Al Arab hotel or went there for diner, don't remember which. As it is with business trips we never got out of the city. I did get some time to shop for gold jewelry. Enjoy seeing pictures of what we missed. Texans like to say everything is bigger in Texas. Obviously they have not been to Dubai.

Hell Dubai is the size of a postage stamp compared to Saudi Arabia

It's an 8 hour drive at 140kph just to get to Dubai from my Villa. Which I have to pay my next yearly rent payment on the 1st of August.... 140,800.00 SAR water, lights, maintenance included

If I had the rest of the company's money for the other 22 Villas, the White Witch would be in the airport parking lot as we speak!

It was unclear. I didn't mean Dubai is large in size. The intended reference was the uniqueness and extravagance. The Dunj Al Arab hotel as one example.

Texas is not the largest state nor does it have the most miles to cross or the most square miles. The phrase everything is bigger in Texas is a broad reference. Can be anything. Examples would be miles of roads or height of hairdos. It could also be related to something Texas believes is unique or extravagant that pales in comparison to Dubai. That was my point.
