Some comments!
IF YOU SAYING 'NO' THEN YOU ARE HIDING THE TRUTH…
It is really great article and you have hit the main points and the common habits in Gulf area in specific and the Arab world in general…
We... Saudis, don't have in our country what you mentioned about ladies, dance, alcohol, or anything forbidden in Islam in public... That's why you see some of them (even in other Gulf countries) not stopping for red signal (hahaha) coz their life is full of red signs!!!
In my case…
I am always stopping near the traffic lights!!
Do you know why? Because I have to watch the other side:
If the light is red... I have to think of some Gulf people who don't care!
And if the light is yellow… I have to think of some other Arabs and Pakistanis!!
And if it's Green... everyone is passing!!
Based on that, one item you should add to the list:
Due to these reasons Indians in Gulf area drive very slow or flying (if they are taxi drivers .. coz one of the Gulf citizen is sitting beside and pushing his feet hard toward the accelerator )
