Interesting concept but with all the problems happening in the Middle East do you really think anyone is going to want to stay there? Why don't you just spraypaint the words "blow me up" on the side of it too. Tourism is not what the middleast is about.
Would it be better for me to have pointed out when the last bombing in Dubai was?
Or how many rocket attacks they get per day?
Or how often it is that Islamabad gets a car bombing?
His argument is like saying "You can't go to rural Nebraska! They SHOOT PEOPLE who walk down the wrong street in Mexico City!" or "Man, that Ukraine is a horribly violent place! There are TANKS rolling through the streets of Baghdad!"
Which is why there are no tourists at all in Egypt, Turkey doesn't rely on tourist income for its economic developement, Dubai isn't one of the most popular destinations for rich people to go on holiday...
Oh, wait a minute, I think we're completely wrong here.

Dubai though... um. Dubai is in the UAE dude. That *is* the Middle East.

The trick is to stay away from places the US has invaded or funded, basically. The rest of it's very pleasant.
