I'd add scuba diving and dolphin watching as possible activities.

If you don't like Vegas then you may not love Dubai, but the combination of DXB and MCT would make an interesting contrast. I like them both equally, but for different reasons.

Feb is a great time to visit the Gulf as the weather will be very pleasant. And Oman is by no means 'dry'

Thinking of other QR destinations, I'd put AUH and DOH much further down the list. How about BEY ?
