I was just in Dubai, at the Mall of The Emirates where the photo was taken. There are indeed many millionaires walking around and luxury cars are everywhere. I watched a guy buy a $35,000 Rolex like he was picking out a sandwich. The car MAY be rhodium plated, which is what they use to plate yellow gold and make it white gold. Same process as chroming, but obviously more expensive.
I was thinking of having that done to my tank....lol

Not really.

I'm close friends with someone who's last-name appears several times on any list of the wealthiest Saudis/Arabs. He has expressed that he has no need for a bodyguard in Saudi Arabia, although he does carry.

The guy I saw buy the Rolex walked in with two 'friends'. As the millionaire picked out his watch, the other guys stood around and when the 'boss' walked away with the watch, one of his 'friends' walked up to the counter and haggled the price then paid the guy. The 'boss' doesn't talk prices I guess.

The UAE is VERY safe.

Yeah if every millionaire here walked around with body guards the whole city will turn into a fortress lol
