A little dwarfed by Dubai are Abu Dhabi and Qatar, two very interesting countries nearby. Abu Dhabi appears more relaxed than Dubai and with more green space. Qatar certainly a lot stricter than Dubai. but extremely friendly towards visitors. Great architecture exists and is being built in both. Well worth a visit.
