Here's a free tip from the CW. Don't travel there.
If a notorious tough guy like Anderson Cooper couldn't even handle it, I'll just assume I wouldn't make it out alive.
Unless you're wearing regulation US Army fatigues or going to join some jihadist underground movement I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would be traveling over to the Middle East. Yea, Dubai looks neat, we have that here too, it's called Vegas.
In Vegas the only scare tourists have to worry about is some pimp ruffing them up for not tipping their hooker enough, or wondering just how likely they are to get herpes from the toilet seat in the mensroom next to the sportsbook. In Dubai, aside from seaching for ways to identify the fundamentalists and extremist amongst the crowd (hint, it's most of them), you have to deal with the constant threat of revolution, and for girls, the fear of jail for showing too much skin. Oh, and I'm fairly certain there are restrictions on walking around with alcohol in public, yea sounds like a blast of a vacation. I'd sooner go to BYU for a semester then pay for a luxury trip to the middle east.
You want a sense of adventure and thrill along with your fun in the sun travel to Mexico. No need to pay for an expensive trip across the globe. Mexico's got hot sunny beaches, and these days you're just as likely to see a beheading or mass murder in a down town market as anywhere else in the world.
