I went to Dubai and Abu Dhabi some 5 or 6 years ago. Beautiful cities, excellent food and museums. I swore I would never go again just because of the facade of ostentatious opulent wealth on top of a massive complex network of definitely-not-slavery-because-that-would-be-illegal. I have every reason to believe SA has the same definitely-not-slavery problem. Also, I am an unabashed heretic, and (if I understand correctly, strictly speaking) an apostate, since I have read and understood subsequently rejected significant portions of al quran, and religious apostasy laws are still on the books, even if they are seldom enforced. I will not be visiting SA despite your otherwise excellent suggestion.

You are free to make that decision. There's plenty of wealth and far more people in China anyways, and they don't hate us the same way people in the West do.
Well, I mean we have legal prisoner slavery here in the states, now I'm thinking of it... hmm...
