    Hmmm...maybe because you were NOT in the poorer half of the Middle East? Try Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen...the list goes on. Dubai has more in common with Paris than the rest of the Persian Gulf. You'll find plenty of camels in Syria, as well as sheep, goats, and government employees who make less than $2,000 a year. Not many Chanel wrap-arounds there. Please don't generalize Dubai and Riyadh as representative of "the Middle East." Someone from Dubai has just as little in common with someone from Damascus as you do with an American from Mississippi.
