I applied for a senior SEO job in Dubai and then realised that was perhaps the maddest thing I had done for donkeys years as my chances of surviving in Dubai for long happily and healthily would be very short/remote. I decided to just conquer some Dubai SEO search terms for myself and don't understand why anyone would want to risk going there, to Dubai, tbh. Jailed for a public kiss - stuff that and the same for the cannabis shoe thing to...
There are quite a few countries like Dubai ... they have very strange laws and penalties for breaking them. Showing affection in public by kissing someone in a restaurant, should be accepted. All the best ... Ron
Yes crazy rules exist in some countries but its a wonder that Saudi is so economically developed, has good relations with the west, big buildings (all built and designed by foreign companies) and still has such barbaric laws.
Why go there, if you we feel not comfortable with the laws..I had a very bad time too. So why go there ??
its called the petro dollar...saudi owns about 12% of US corporations...US needs oil and saudi likes the US dollar...if you can give the US oil you can do what ever the fuck you want...hell most of the 9/11 guys were from saudi but iraq got invaded instead...the king of saudi arabia prints a racist version of the quran and distributes it for free all over the world but the US does not say a word...its the worlds largest quran printing press...guess whos funding radical islam? you got it! the good ol USA...if you have oil or money or nukes then everything you do is "legal"
yeah Dubai is a modern city but it has a lot of contradictions! there is a lot of discos and nightclubs that you can drink anything but can't find alcohol in shops there. people who own this modern city mostly are primitive! Atvking USA official unwilling to mention Nationality of terrorists when reach to Saudi Arabia!
Actually these are the rules of Dubai country and we have to follow these rules if we are visiting to Dubai.
