Headed there in March. Have a week stay. Vacation. Staying in a pretty sweet hotel in downtown right next to that tallest building in the world.

Any must do’s or see’s? I have camel trip and desert dinner one evening, and I’m sure I’ll ski just because why not there. But other then then I’m open to ideas and curious.

I'd definitely check out the slaves. Its pretty cool seeing slaves in todays day and age, you don't see that in the States! Another absolute must do is the stoning, take a stroll downtown enjoying the modern city. Then you and a bunch of other people throw rocks at someone til they die! What an experience!

Dubai got an indoor skiing if thats what youre referring to? Its one of largest in Middle East and is pretty decent to desert people's standards. And.. be sure to rent a fast expensive car and drive around the city and desert outskirts for few hours while you're vacationing there- get International Drivers license from your local DMV/DOL beforehand. ;)

Bring some justice for khashoggi signs. Its sure to end well since the Saudis keep talking about how they're reforming the kingdom, so political statements are going to be treated with respect.

God, its so embarrassing when your geographical knowledge is completely off and exposed in public. I've lived my entire life thinking Dubai was in Saudi Arabia

I mean, it’s close. It’s right next door. They both have sand and oil and money.
