Seriously you will struggle to find a city more artificial than Dubai. They're trying to market themselves as an "international city" and tourist oasis, but seriously, they'll never amount to a true global commercial and world-class centre such as Hong Kong. And the local Emiratis which make up a mere 20% of the population hold themselves with such an unwarranted arrogance, it's enough to make you FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU.... The place is wealthy but cultureless, soulless, basically a desert, has an average nightlife at best and you'll be treated as a second-class citizen if you're white (and even below that if you're of other ethnicity). Abu Dhabi is mildly better.
..Oh and I can't stress the cultureless part enough... Seriously, it's barely an 'Arabian city' and hardly a harmonious blend of cultures. It really is just a cesspit of ugly western realities (prostitution, cultural segregation and general tackiness)...
