[QUOTE=Wicked Roger; 1378436]Is also because the Arab Spring has robbed the Saudis of their other playgrounds in Syria, Lebanon (to a degrere) and Egypt, places where they can find Arab WGs etc. They all come to Dubai instead and happy pay crazy prices.
But I agree generally Dubai prices are stupid and not value for money. I go to Asia a lot and for 50% less than a 3/4 star in Dubai (example Ibis WTC, Novotel WTC) I can get a really good 5 star (or spacious 4 star)
Also is not double standards MR as they get drunk in Saudi and take WGs but just more discretely and mainly Morroccan / Arab. Only difference is in Dubai they don't care as much who sees except the LE who they think they can pay off so that problem is 'solved'.
IMHO the real double standard could be Christmas, all banned in KSA but you watch the Saudis in the UAE malls enjoying the decorations and fun as well as encouraging their kids to sit with Santa.[/QUOTE]Some of the guys are putting together a mongering tour group to Eastern European countries as the prices of hotels combined with WG prices will make it cheaper for UAE residents to fly there, enjoy for a week or two with 10 times more girls and come back. I will keep you guys updated
