I never frequented the AD city before. On a first look, it's much more boring than Dubai.

On a second thought it depends how old you are I could direct you to some wild places.

Go to F1 and besides avoid these liberal arab residents the Jordanians, Emirates, Saudis etc etc they are locals.. Just like these in the video below don't appraoch them and don't hang out with them they exist in a weird circle bubble you don't wanna be part of that it is just an alternative world very materialistic and superficial.. But if you wanna find good places follow the traces and the places that chick goes to but then again it depends on who you are but don't hang out with them tho..

Much more locals in comparison to Dubai. Even a careem driver here who drove me from the airport was a real Emirati in turban, and everything. Seeing that for the first time ever.

When I flew here, I was really surprised by the amount of seemingly rich Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Gyptians on the flight. Nearly all young women (and of rare beauty for as long as Arabs go,) kids, and a few elderly accompanied by family members. All with latest iPhones, donning gold chains, prada etc.

Haven't seen a single emirati passport in the checkin line

The above is about your point

You work there?
No really working yet. Been paid for now just to look at the assembly line, and figure out how to automate it, or whether it's worth it at all. Picked it to have something else to do for the time of relative standstill with the railway signals project in Kazakhstan.

So far, it feels a big, big change from the over the top atmosphere of Dubai. It rains here, and even freaking floods.

Now I see that not all emiratis live on government handouts. Apparently, there are even outright poor ones.

UAE is basically a very strange socialist experiment with a rigid caste hierarchy. There are right arabs, wrong arabs, bad arabs, and there are non-arabs. Government handouts divided accordingly.
