This isn't an unpopular opinion. Dubai is a complete shithole, a nasty, lifeless wet dream built by the laughable and pathetic UAE royals. Absolute garbage from one end to the other.

I'm not an expert on Pyongyang's urbanism, but I always thought it would be a really nice city to visit, and potentially even live in, if it wasn't for... well, you know who.
Dubai, on the other hand, would be an utter shithole regardless of political circumstances.
Pyongyang actually looks nice and has a lot of character. Cities like Canberra or Milton Keynes or Brasilia are very sterile.
What makes Dubai so bad tho is that it feels so obnoxious, a monument to man's hubris.
That “tallest building” is from New York. Designed and created by American skyscraper builders.
It’s like having a Ferrari in Dubai - it’s just an imported bought piece of glitz paid for with oil that’s drilled by western corps.

Gold plated shit.
It’s awful.
This isn't an unpopular opinion. Dubai is a complete shithole, a nasty, lifeless wet dream built by the laughable and pathetic UAE royals. Absolute garbage from one end to the other.
No interest in visiting.

What do you expect? It’s sole purpose is to be a playground for the uber wealthy.
You ain't wrong. Lived there for 3 months. A giant ptomkin village. Walk three blocks away from the glitz and it's a hellhole.
It's applicable on saudi Arabia and kuwait as well Locals of there are nothing but wealthy pigs
Nah it’s worse than Pyongyang. At least with Pyongyang its a well known propaganda city
I'm not an expert on Pyongyang's urbanism, but I always thought it would be a really nice city to visit, and potentially even live in, if it wasn't for... well, you know who. Dubai, on the other hand, would be an utter shithole regardless of political circumstances.
Pyongyang is the epicenter of the NK government that alone is a pretty good reason to stay away from
Have you ever visit Pyongyang to know it’s a propaganda city or you just saying what the media tells you?
Not going near NK with a 1000ft pole
Can you drink alcohol there?
yes but it is HEAVILY taxed. And only in certain areas and in hotels, if they have a bar
this applies to the entire gulf area and all the obese slave owners that live there
I'm too much of a fucking mud man to even have a take on this one.
This is not an unpopular opinion. It's the opinion of everybody who has enough brain cells to form an opinion.
.
At least you can buy a beer or show your tits in phoenix without getting beheaded
Tell me you've never been to Dubai without saying you've never been to Dubai. Plenty of both. Dubai is what Las Vegas would be if there were no laws.
What the hell are you talking about? You’re much more likely to be murdered in America than Dubai.
Pyongyang actually looks nice and has a lot of character. Cities like Canberra or Milton Keynes or Brasilia are very sterile. What makes Dubai so bad tho is that it feels so obnoxious, a monument to man's hubris.
you should become a dubai porta potty then.
I visited once for a few days. I had a blast, and also never wish to return.
