By your post, I am remembered that today I learned that if you live in Dubai, even if you're a modern western moving there for a well paid job, you cannot legally live or have sex with your SO if you are not married, and you can be jailed for it - You can't even sleep in the same hotel, but I think most tourist hotels ignore this law. Also, being gay is illegal and there's signs telling people to dress modestly in a lot of places like malls.. Kinda weird, but interesting for a mere tourist visit I think.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
