I don't think I'll ever visit UAE nor any arabic country because I can't stand with homophobes/transphobes and most arabic countries are like that. It's so sickening that they are stuck in the past.
We were only "scammed" once by a lazy taxi driver who didn't want to admit that he misunderstood where we wanted to go. However, the amount was so minimal we didn't report it. However, please note that you can ALWAYS report taxi drivers who try to scam you by reporting the taxi number/driver name to any police man. Those taxis are required to head back to HQ that same day and their licenses are voided.
But the above is an exception. To illustrate, we took a 2 hr taxi from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and regretfully left our mobile in the taxi. We worked with our hotel staff and security to locate the driver and got the phone back the next day fully intact. The driver was really worried about being reported to the police and we actually had to assure him that we knew it was our mistake and not anything intentional on his part.
Also, being an Islamic country, people are critical about the strict laws, but I didn't feel that non-Muslim residents or foreigners were subject to any "harsh" rules. for example, A lot of private hotel beaches are lax with swimwear. and most hotel bars and restaurants serve alcohol. I think one just needs to check what is permitted and what's not to be safe.
The only area I would caution travelers to be a little more wary about being "scammed" or "attacked" is in Deria. I didn't feel particularly unsafe at any time of day, however, I wouldn't be there alone at night and I wouldn't buy from the local market without first comparing prices and trying to bargain.
Political climate aside, I feel it's a really nice holiday destination!
UAE laws are strict, tightly enforced, and crime is low, at least where you can see it. Undoubtedly there is crime, but it's unlikely to be a problem for tourists or expats. I personally have never heard of other expats or tourists becoming victims of major crimes, except at the hands of family or close friends.
Horror stories abound on the internet about tourists or expats being jailed for behaviors westerners take for granted (PDA, small amounts of drugs, public intoxication, loudly/publicly criticising the govt), but there's an easy way to avoid that: know the law before you go, and respect it. You're in someone else's country and if you can't be bothered to understand the law and respect the culture, you deserve what you get.
DUBAI IN UAE, I have visited Dubai several time,
