Men? Which men in Dubai?

If you are into Hot Middle easterners then go either to Beirut or even Tel Aviv.
At least these two cities have kind of culture.
I dont know whats so special about the shopping in Dubai. You can get all the stuff in Europe too and its not even very much cheaper.

Weather: Most of the time its just too hot i think.

In general: The marketing guys promoting Dubai in Europe are doing a pretty good job creating the "wish" to visit this artificial city in the middle class in Europe.

Did you fellow FTlers never ask yourself why all the middle easterners , especially the gays, dont do their holiday in Dubai, but in in Beirut? SO why then go to Dubai?
The Middle/ upper class gay arabs will all be found in Beirut letting their hair down

Beirut is the most gay friendly arab country with a decent gay infrastructure
