text: its great. i live here and love it. it is very warm. 80f today. and perfect for the beach. there is alot of development and building. and traffic is horrible. lots of shopping and crazy things, indoor ski slope, 7 star hotel, 5 malls, its all very new unlike oman or yemen which have more history. somewhat shallow and the muslim religion controls it to some extent. not as much as other countires. but it is quite conservative by western standards.
