To copy my comment from the other post

How is UAE No. 7?! There are literally emirates where you will get assaulted on the streets for being visibly non cishet, from what I've heard. Also according to Wikipedia, gay people can be murdered for the crime of being gay there, and according to Virgin Atlantic, you are not allowed to import "flyers promoting anti-Islam (including GSM) propaganda, intended for distribution"

Is it possible that it's one of those places where being visibly a foreigner grants you lots of extra privileges that locals don't get?
