My coworker has a friend that works for a company that sends her to Dubai fairly often. She gets paid a metric ton of money for it, apparently, but outside of work spends most of her time in her hotel room.

Someone else paying would be the only reason I would bother getting anywhere close to that corner of the world.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A Houston woman known online as the “Sassy Trucker” who had been stranded in Dubai for months over an altercation at a car rental agency left the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, an advocate for the woman said.
Allen paid a $1,360 deposit to Dubai police to clear the travel ban she faced, Stirling said.
It wasn’t clear if Allen still has any legal complaints against her in the UAE, a federation of seven sheikhdoms on the Arabian Peninsula.
Stirling accused the car rental agency employee of “raising his voice” at Allen and following her out of the shop in a threatening manner during the incident.
A middle finger raised in a traffic dispute, a text message calling someone a name or swearing in public easily can spark criminal cases — something that foreign tourists who flock here may not realize until it is too late.
Under Emirati law, publicly insulting another person can carry a sentence of up to one year in prison and a fine of $5,450.
