Went on a school trip to visit a sister school in India once and we had a long enough layover for a day trip into Dubai. It was just SO depressing. Old town Dubai was fine, but the shiny new bits were so lifeless and sad and blech. I was the only one that thought that way
Agreed. Vile. Fake. Exploitative. Consumerist crap. Culturally vacant. To be avoided if at all possible. Had to go there back in the day for work from time to time and it totally gave me the ik.
Thanks for explaining that. I know some of the richest people in the world live there and they have beautiful cities but if they are all corrupt, it is no where I want to be.
An Irish woman was attacked by her boyf, she had a MH episode & tried to commit suicide, luckily she failed but Dubai locked her up in jail….. Ireland had to get involved to get her out
I admit, a TEEEEEENY TINYYYYY part of me does want to visit Dubai but being a trans woman and a lesbian, I'd be killed most likely just for being a trans woman and a lesbian.
1) The person is willfully ignorant, and they don't understand why Dubai is bad. –Which is gross and makes me not want to associate with them.
2) The person that does know better and is complacent. –Which is gross and makes me not want to associate with them.

Go there for fun? Yeah, that deserves disdain.
Luxury at the cost of human suffering. Omelas except it’s a few rich people and tourists living in luxury at the expense of thousands
Vile vile vile place
Im sorry but if you visit Dubai 𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝗮𝘀 even just as a vacation I instantly lose 100% of my respect for you as a person
