Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
Returning to UAE / Dubai after 3 years — what's different?

Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

100% agree. The variety there is hard to beat.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
