When I find out another British tourist was arrested for having sex in a cab

Driving from Dubai to Sharjah during rush hour

But if I’m driving to Dubai instead: 

Driving to the walk at JBR on Thursday or Friday night

When I play soap football at Kite surf Beach

When I see an expat dressed in Emirati traditional

How I think I’ll be:

How I actually feel: 

When someone says Doha is the new Dubai

But let’s be honest:
