If you are not interested in ME culture you should not go there... But since you decided to anyways, you picked the Costa del Allah. If that is your thing, that is your thing. Why see the world if you can be safe in your hotel compound, right?

MCT has far more to offer. Not only in sights (nature and otherwise) but also in authenticity, although I doubt you are much persuaded by the latter. If you are desperately worried that you will be exposed to something new you can hide away at Shangri La's Barr Al Jissah Resort. No worries, you can pretend you are anywhere.
