despite all the advertising at the end of the day who would go to those resorts? yeah, they had huge discounts for british holidaymakers but as far as getting the us dollar, forget it, you always heard all this negative shit abt tourists getting arrested for basically nothing but normal tourist behavior and there really didn't seem to be anything to do there but shop and look at buildings

i can shop and look at buildings in vegas and not get arrested if i ate a poppy seed muffin in heathrow airport that's still in my system in dubai...plus the hotel is not $6K a night...no really a friend of mine was quoted $6K FOR ONE NIGHT in a dubai hotel, maybe there was an event or holiday that day, i dunno, but in the event, she decided to route her travel thru paris instead...

if they want to be a destination, they needed to loosen up somehow...
