That being said I have always enjoyed my time in the middle east. I have been to Syria, Lebanon and the UAE and the people there are absolutely amazing. I love the food, the culture and the hospitality.
+1 on this...The last assasination changed everything...I would be cautious now...

I do wonder though if a US citizen with a Jewish sounding surname would have any issues entering the UAE....I have a friend who I would love to come visit but he's quite hesitant.
