I dont mean places that are like ragingly anticommunist (which is most places I think), but they have like appalling social issues. Say like UAE or any of the Gulf states that use slave labor and indentured servitude on a mass scale. Like would you say visiting dubai or doha is morally questionable? A friend is offering to visit Muscat cuz there are cheap flights but I dont know if I should. Or are there ways I can ameliorate my staying there, like maybe giving money to some orgs or something. Idk what do you think

    Muscat looks so cool

    And I totally get what you mean, I am not one of those tourists. I seek a cultural experience, I like to take in the sights, the smells, the food, the architecture and interact with locals whenever I overcome my shyness. And Muscat seems like it has a lot of that to offer.
