A similar incident is mentioned in the linked article.

 

Correct, it would be fair to say that it's a nasty place on the back of the entire catalogue of human rights abuses that are perpetrated there.

 

I see giving them your coin as very much condoning how they have built the place.

 

I'll not be in a rush to be going.

Getting arrested, tortured and banged up on fake drug charges, raped and locked up if you are a women, arrested for necking in cab. You know, those kind of risks.

How do you know the drug charges were fake? And the couple weren't 'necking' they were (allegedly) having sex.

Just booked up for 2 weeks next summer. A week in the Atlantis, and a week in the Jumeirah beach .Cant wait.

 

Both great hotels, have a good time.

 

I take it you've checked that it isn't Ramadan when you come?

Indentured labour, mainly. I don't think I'll be visiting any country in the Middle East any time soon, they're all rascals.

Heading over again in February to visit the same friend, only this time I'm bringing another mate with me. Had a ball last time so really looking forward to it.

 

My friend has lived and worked there for a couple of years now, and his sister a few years more than that. They both maintain that while there is usually some basis for the stories that reach us, and that the locals can be a bit nuts, they are sensationalized and portrayed to be a much bigger, more widespread problem, and in most cases seem to be quite rare, extreme examples.

 

The Shieks will bury you alive in sand if you fuck them over though.
