Saudi Arabia has a problem in that its far larger than UAE and it is also the home of Islam. Loosening cultural restrictions might fly in Dubai, but I'm not sure the Muslim world would be as okay with the same happening in the country that hosts their most sacred site.

Why not? Most of the Muslim world is far less restrictive than Saudi Arabia. And even if they don't like some future loosened restriction there's nothing they can do about it.
