Maybe you should go to visit. You know absolutely nothing about the UAE!
But after reading this thread, you don't appear to be alone.
Selfishly, I would love to have Etihad and Emirates give me direct flights there. And throughout my adult life I've absolutely loathed Air Canada for a number of reasons, although flying Lufthansa has raised my opinion of AC. I'd be a happy guy if the Canadian government reconsidered. But I admit I don't know or understand all the issues so I'll step aside and let those that do continue the discussion.
But you should know that the UAE's women are treated JUST FINE. This is not Iran or Pakistan we're talking about.
