As long as you don't mix in traffic, sure.

I prefer places with a rich history, like Rome, Athens, Kyoto, etc.
Then again, I've never visited any of the above.

After what we are going through with UAE, I think Southern Persian Gulf countries are an appropriate choice.

Plus the weather sucks and humidity is terrible, I can't stand countries by Persian Gulf. only during some certain months you will enjoy, Btw only for a week it seems exciting, after that it will become boring.
