If someone told you that they wanted to/have gone to this place you would be very suspicious of them. For me it’s Theiland and The Philippines. Nothing good happens there.

      What’s she going for?

      Whatever she wants because the UAE welcomes wealth and excessive spending, that’s kind of its whole thing (that and human rights violations). The idea that visiting Dubai is precedented by an interest in history is not grounded in reality. If Dubai was concerned about anything other than excess wealth, why do they keep building things like the burj khalifa and an indoor snow ski slope?

      Ignore this, I really misunderstood the comment

        Yeah, history was maybe a stretch, lol, the country kinda gives me the heevie jeebies tbh but some people do go to for instance Sharjah to live quiet lives, some perhaps even to Dubai for Islamic studies or whatnot (the ladies that are getting pooped on are from particular demographics and ethnicities too, because that’s what these wild rich fucks are into, so I specified not to suspect everyone going to Dubai!) but the nightlife and private events can be and often do get haram AF 🤷😅

        Exactly. It’s definitely not for any plausible moral reason.

        Although OP also mentioned she’s broke, so it might not work out as planned…
