Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates not Saudi Arabia. The difference between them is huge! The Emirates are almost westernised as you can find even alcohol, see some women legs and face compared to Saudi Arabia which is very fundamentalistic.
My apologies, I thought that Saudi Arabia and the UAE were the same group of countries. I've even been to Dubai and it still didn't hit me that they were different.
No problem :)
Most people make the confusion because has the name Arab in. The difference between them is huge if you visit both. UAE thinks also about the future, as Dubai gets now only 5% of their money from oil and few people know that. They even have their own car manufacturer, Zarooq Motors.
The difference is massive but to compare the UAE to the west is laughable, being gay is still illegal in most emirates and women still go to prison for being raped.
My bad, they are the most westernized from the Gulf Staates.

Whoa! I had to Google to fact check your statement. Glad I did. :P
Wow! I don't understand so much of upvotes for something that's wrongly presented. You are lucky @sqamemal. Perhaps they are all trolling you with the upvotes. :D :) The newer thing in Saudi Arabia after allowing women to drive is the opening of Cinema hall. That's a newer development. The above news entirely belongs to United Arab Emirates.
In all honesty, the upvotes are for a different reason, I am currently not near my computer and so used a mobile app to use Steemit. That's what gave me all the upvotes. But right now I am commenting through steemit from google chrome on my phone, which is awfully slow.
