Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dehran compare pretty well to the UAE. They are modern, and very technologically advanced.
Huh? Is this an attack or a barb? Did you read my post? I'm perfectly aware that the UAE and Dubai in particular is the most progressive state in the region. I did my share of traveling (and simply reading the daily news) and I'm aware of the state of affairs in other parts of the region. I think your follow-up post was excellent. It seems that you're directing it at me and coming down on me, and I don't see why. Back off, dude.
