I have been living in the Middle East for 5 years and I am not surprised at all…
Typical Kuwaiti/Saudi/ Emirati behavior.
I am sure that we, all living in this part of the world, could tell you dozens of similar stories of how arrogant they are and how bizarre they behave.
I wouldn’t give up… what happened to you, happened in BKK not in DXB, so the local authorities would support you.
