Hehehehe !!! advanced in what sense ? Just saw a BBC show on the TV highlighting the troubles faced by tourist & in majority of the cases jailed due to "ridiculous" strange 5th century practices esp in the most modern and "liberal" dubai, other places are not worth even mentioning. A lot of things are banned in Dubai which are considered very normal in west ex even boozing and the list continues.
BTW, Saudi is perhaps the only nation in the whole world where there are no Legitimate women drivers.
Strange,Stone aged, Funny, Fanatic, Religious countries, all referring to outdated practices.
