Saudi Arabia is considerably worse on every aspect, it just gets even less press.

To be fair, SA isn’t touted as a dream destination for tourists, but quite the opposite: Tourists can’t enter.

Dubai sells this luxury destination dream literally built by slaves.

That’s not true. Saudi Arabia wants to become a major touristic place.

Well, yes. If I were a woman, I would absolutely opt for Dubai over Saudi, even though both would suck compared to most other options.

"rave" parties. Is it really a rave if people aren't rolling their balls off? :P
