What you need to understand is that they are not only trying to convince you but mainly themselves.
Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi might have bought CNN ( that quite hypocritically still talks about ending modern slavery while getting the money from the modern slavers..) but they still are just incredibly shallow and incredibly hot and humid **** holes populated by arrogant locals and desperate expats the main part of which is constituted by semi enslaved third world workers. You will be a step up on the ladder but still basically a slave with no rights. They are sand boxes with one of most horrible climate in the world and you will find your self hopping mall to mall just to have something to do. So if you have a job In Dallas... stay in Dallas. If you are unemployed than consider it as last option. As per the local culture...what culture would you expect in a theocratic dictatorships?
