Oh man! There are lots of places to eat, drink, and be stupid in the middle east! Most hotels and resorts are free from the restrictive laws of the middle east. For the most part, alcohol is illegal in these countries, except in hotels. So most hotels have very nice clubs, bars, pools, etc. that are great for partying. There are even quite a few brothels in Dubai.
I've also heard something similar, don't be too suprised dubai is far from islamic, the people in charage care more about westerners then they're brothers and sisters world-wide.
Dubai is westeners paradise , I went in December and I couldn't believe I was in Dubai, it seemed more like UK, xmas trees and santa claus and carrol singers and I saw some drunk arabs I was totally disgusted.
Dubai doesn't "allow" brothels either. But they're everywhere.
In fact, Arabs should not waste so much time being "disgusted" and focus on the real issues of human trafficking and enslavement that is plaguing Dubai and other Middle Eastern communities.

Inshallah when the islamic caliphate ruturns duabia should be no 1 on the list of sorting out, the people in charge make me sick, building islands while follow muslims need the money.
Yes this is true. While brothels are not legal, they are still tolerated. In fact they are a big problem here in the UAE and it is getting worse. Many people from around the Middle East come to Dubai for this reason alone. In fact I regularly see police cars right next to prostitutes while "transactions" are occurring but nothing is done. There are certain areas in Dubai that are known all over the country that they are a hub for prostitution and alcohol. People go there for little else. So yes it is true.
can't we do something about it.. its really tragic. No, really, lets think of some ideas. I was thinking, changing what within ourselves, by reverting to the quran and sunnah. It generally seems like theres really good muslims out there, except we are dispersed everywhere. I reckon, wallahu alam, that if we somehow got together, we could become the majority, and Insallah, beome the ummah we once were.
can someone please recommend for me a country where i can live, that is generally adhereing to the Quran and sunnah, and is strict. i was thinking saudi (mecca, or medina, inshallah), then sharjah. what do you people think?
To be honest with you I would not recommend Saudi. They are actually too strict, to the point that injustice can be done because of it. They do not 'truly follow Islamic Law in many cases. But then again, if you can live next to the Kaba (not sure if it is possible) then that would be quite amazing. Sharjah is probably less strict than Saudi but it does have Saudi influence on it. I honestly love it here and you can find plenty of Muslim brothers and sisters who share your interest. But dont expect everyone in the City to be wearing hijab or niqab. But you can say that the majority do.
Well anyone else got any suggestions?
