Kuwait: Kuwaitis have a reputation of being rude, obnoxious and entitled. Heck if you dont give them the right of way, he can often assault you and the judge will give you a slap on the wrist. And Kuwait is essentially one city with not much the way of entertainment

Qatar: The behavior of the average Qataris is similar to that of Kuwaits but worse. They are also trying to ride many tigers at the same time by hosting an American base, Al Jazeera and office for Hamas.

Bahrain: Bahrainis are far more humane and urbane . Heck they had a Jewish ambassador to UN in 2005. However there is considerable political instability due to Shia Sunni rift which erupted into civil war in early 2010s.

Oman: Oman is a genuinelly wonderful place with very humane locals. Omanis are delightful. However there is relatively less opportunity compared to UAE. And not as many distractions. But for many people the scenic views ,relaxed atmosphere and some places like Salalah with its temperate climate may just be the ticket
