Nope! 
 Not good. AT ALL!! 
 I've been to Dubai.. and I'm sorry to say this, but this is way too... not how it is. Plus, for me, the story felt forced.. and given the length of it, it almost confirmed it :S I really hope that the next one is better.. but given that it's a full-length novel, I'm sure it is. 
 But, to be quite honest, I wish I hadn't read this one :(
