How fricking retarded does one have to be to visit the middle east and just assume it's safe? I know Dubai is probably the best place in all of the middle east, but it's still in an incredibly unstable region. I'll never understand the attraction to that region. I wouldn't be caught dead visiting the middle east.

Quite a few American oil & gas folks living and working out there. My uncle lived in Dubai for several years working for Conoco.

There are a bunch of pro tennis players stuck there who can't get to the biggest non-major of the year in Palm Springs.

I mean being stuck in Dubai doesn’t seem like the worst place to be, it’s freaking awesome there

Fishing in the straight is supposed to be pretty good.... but not worth dieing for.

No, I get that people have to be there for work.

I'm referring to retards who take vacations there, like this dumb bitch from Tennessee I just saw who went there for her 20th anniversary.

Maybe they thought the war would only last would last a day or two or that since Congress didn’t formally declare war that meant there was no war. lol what a bunch of idiots

Why anyone would pay money to visit a fake city that was built by slavery is beyond me

The Red Sea is beautiful with excellent snorkeling/diving opportunities and the vast majority of Arabs aren’t America hating terrorists.

We were supposed to be visiting a resort in Saudi Arabia in June.

Thanks a lot Trump

I have never wanted to visit anywhere in the ME. Only place I want to go to less is Africa.

You get paid a lot to work there but it seems they should have heeded the warnings from the State Department and noticed that a lot of their non essential personnel in the region were getting the hell out of Dodge. Were they just not watching the news or checking their phones the weeks leading up?
