Why shouldn't we be in Dubai mate? We've been to Dubai a number of times over the years and I can't ever recall it being highlighted as an issue on here or elsewhere.

People holiday there. 10years ago probably nothing wrong with it but in the current sensitive climate generally neither of those things should happen in a country with a dubious practices and poor human rights record, its look like they don't mind.
Its really only those heavily pushing human rights in that climate that should see a problem in it. An example of the knots people tie themselves in virtue signalling.
