Nothing bad ever happens in UAE. It's paradise, the streets are paved with gold, everyone is happy and business is booming.

You do know the Press is probably(lol) sanitised here don't you?
I see you have chosen circa Aug 20 for your factfinding trip?,2 days after Ramadan ends.
Demonstrates perhaps the extent of your research.Arriving in DXB at that time is like parachuting into Rio
for the carnival without a silk slip.Same same Abu Dhabi.As Lulubelle suggests,get here if you can.....
Then make your own conclusions.
Good luck with it all.

Me too - I've been receiving complimentary copies all week and it's so dull now, just like any of the others in a different format.

Oh and neil_95051 (catchy name), as Eva says, it's Ramadan here until mid August so don't even consider coming then, then it's Eid, so you may want to consider either bringing your trip forward to well before Ramadan, or after September....

Me too...they seem to do that in phases every few months or so.
