For some reason
holding in the ME is a sign of weakness by local controllers, not of air traffic management. If I see holding used I would die of shock.
Remember, if these are local ME controllers then they havn't got the same exposure to heavy traffic that expats get in real airports and traffic management is 20 years ahead of their time, they only know what they are taught here, the same
gets passed down from generation to generation.
Peace out !!
