I am fascinated by this travel advice about the UAE, recently posted by the Foreign Office.
I can find no support for it on any of the website you would expect e.g. US State department. But as ever the FCO remain coy why they are saying - I guess the long suffering travel agency Business in the UK is not pleased.
To my knowledge there have been few or no terrorist or extremist attacks in the UAE. In fact the the rulers of UAE have been very careful to balance the conversion of the Emirates into a Tourist wonderland with support of more islamic schemes e.g. religous schools across Middle East & Asia food and development aid to more improverished states in Asia and Africa etc etc. The big UAE property concerns are trying to rebuild Gaza and the Palestinian homeland.
I am pretty sure that such actions & support provides an incentive for attacks not to be undertaken by Islamic extremists for risk of losing such massive support for their homelands.
