Backwater,
I fully endorse all of the above but the f.) is a bit below the belt mate. I do not consider that would happen in Dubai and suggest that you edit your post.
OK, a bomb went off in Doha recently, but in all my time here the only real 'incident' was a young local guy shooting holes in the stain glass window of the Hard Rock cafe after the invasion of Iraq by the US.
To all who read these pages, the UAE stands aside from all the political mess in the region and has a fairly neutral stand. The UAE would not support any terrorist activity and the chances of f.) happening, I belive, are as high as they would be in your home countries.
