Please understand that whatever economic freedom(s) you may enjoy living in Dubai/UAR, the freedom(s) that you WON'T have are political rights and civil liberties. UAR/Dubai scored 17/100 (100 being the freest) on Freedom House's recent list of free/not free countries. Rule of law and judicial effectiveness are both rated poorly. So if money is all you care about, then by all means live in Dubai/UAR. Just keep your opinions to yourself and you'll be fine.

The UAE/Dubai continue to commit serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees, suppression of freedom of expression, and violation of the right to privacy. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continue to deprive stateless individuals of the right to nationality, impacting their access to a range of services. According to Human Rights Watch, the UAE detains those who criticize authorities, including hundreds of activists and academics, and Emirati laws discriminate against women, migrants and LGBT individuals. Flogging and stoning are legal forms of judicial punishment in the UAE due to Sharia courts. As a result, the UAE routinely ranks near the bottom of many international measures for human rights and press freedom. It depends on how one defines the word "safety."

@Adam-cn5ib Out of your own mouth you've shown how little value you place on freedom of expression. Enjoy your silence, friend.

@FirstLadyRV They're not. So what? The subject at hand is the UAR/Dubai. Stop trying to confuse the issue by changing the location.

@citizenshipgateways Actually, the REAL issue is your turning a blind eye to a country and government that continues to commit serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees, suppression of freedom of expression, and violation of the right to privacy. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continued to deprive stateless individuals of the right to nationality, impacting their access to a range of services.

As a result, the UAE routinely ranks near the bottom of many international measures for human rights and press freedom. If "property rights" are so important and you want to live in such a place--you're welcome to it. I'll gladly accept my so-called "diminished property rights" in a fairly free and open society. You have no idea of what a "tyrannical" government is until you go to a place such as N. Korea, Iran or Sudan. To try and compare Western democracies to such places is preposterous, so wake up and see the real world.
