RC I was in Dubai with all my family recently. It is very safe and actually we had a better experience than 5 years ago. It actually felt way safer than Paris (I have never felt safe there) even when going to the souk.

The authorities there are very good in making people feel safe but... Smiley

I am sorry but I completely avoid certain regions for a reason (I cannot really elaborate on this but I wouldn't put my kids in danger). No Dubai, no Turkey, no Egypt or Morocco and not even Israel (which is pretty safe regarding airport and plane safety) for me.  Smiley  I have been to some of these countries in the past but at that time, I didn't have kids with me.

I feel the same way about traveling to those regions. I would never risk it given the current climate. I guess terrorism is working to an extent. Sad but true.
