UAE is quite a freedom-phobic place.

If you're an LGBTQ person, you're gonna have a bad time.

If you're a woman, you might have a bad time.

If you are a smiling person who laughs at a good joke about the administration and likes jokes about administration, you're gonna have a bad time.

I have heard of passports taken away for silly reasons ("we just need it to do some photocopies...") And not given back until the company was "done with you", effectively holding a free person hostage in the state.

I wish you none of the above, but I would read more about UAE and think about it more than twice before boarding that plane.

Good luck, really.
