This matches my experience. UAE / Dubai is one of my favorites.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.
