People with family there, people doing aid work there, people working with international companies, people who are curious, investigative journalists, people interested in history in one of the oldest centers of human civilization in the world.

Saudi Arabia is a literal theocratic monarchy, who provides the funding for the majority of terror groups in the world. UAE is a theocratic monarchy supported by slavery and indentured servitude, but there’s no restrictions to go there. I get ads for Dubai travel agencies all the time.

Can’t go to Cuba though, a country that has had equal rights between genders and races longer than the US.
