Is the UAE overrated?

Have you been there (before the war)? If so, what is it like? I know that it gets overhyped because of influencers and wealthy digital nomads. Too …

Downvoted because you answer your own question in the body. Extreme inequality, amusement park for the elite, “it feels fake”, full of western expats immigrants who don’t want to pay taxes in their homeland, built on the back of the polluting oil industry and underpaid workers who have difficulty leaving the country.

Of course it’s overrated! It should be despised way more than it is!
