With air conditioning... It's quite a prestige thing to be able to afford the amount of cooling needed to wear a suit in a desert...

I don’t believe you’ve ever been to Dubai if you think that cooling here is in any way a luxury. Your aircon breaking in the summer is treated like a health emergency. Nobody is living without aircon in the summer.

Yes of course. I meant as an answer to GP, it's not an issue because the whole society is run on the basis of access to air conditioning...
