I know
I've had friends who've spent holidays in Dubai, visting relatives who work there, and reported positively about the place. Nonetheless the article matches my innate prejudice about Dubai, so for me it is therefore a good article. It is well written, even if you don't agree with the sentiments.
I guess every city/country has examples of double standards, and with expats pretty much everywhere there is always a percentage who act appallingly, but it seems more extreme in Dubai.

From the first line, it seems The Times put him up in a shit hotel
and that set his tone for the rest of the article. I didn't even know Dubai had bad hotels, rotana group hotels are nice and radissons always good.
chips on shoulders etc.
