Where is a better place to visit for a vacation? Any one place in the Philippines or Dubai UAE?

if i were you i would go to the philippines much much cheaper than anywhere in the world . cheaper foods . taxi . accommodations . do not be annoyed with beggars just a penny for them and they will thank you that much . visit ilocos region or region 1 . these includes alaminos . pangasinan for their famous hundred islands . benguet province for their baguio city cool place ,its like a small paradise , ilocos sur and norte with their famous beaches , la union so greenery . nice and breathtaking views . welcome and enjoy your vacation

High end Boracay or Palawan. More conservative Iloilo or Bacolod. It safe enough here as long as you don't go out and get stumble down drunk and hang out in the gro bars. You could not pay me to stay anywhere in the UAE. If you think your safer there your wrong ! Plus the $10 beers and the food is horrible. Look on www.tripadvisor.com for places to go ,places to stay from people that actually stayed there.

Well, if you already know about the beggars in the Philippines, I say go to Dubai. The people replying here are obviously going to tell you Phils 1) because they're from Phils, the place where you posted this question. 2) Because it's cheaper. Think about it. It's cheaper for a reason, right? My ex-gf went to Dubai, checked out their skyline including the tallest skyscraper, had a blast. In the Phils... well, I'm sure you know you can always hook up with some peasant needing money for medical school. Not to mention the re-occurring smell of urine to go with the constant scenary of wet dogs running around everywhere.

In the philippines you should go to palawan. I've heard many expats say it's the hidden treasure of the philippines. I've never been in Dubai so can't say anything about it.

philippines is cheaper than any other countrys including filipinos who are stupid, ugly, short, undicipline, dirty, stink and corrupt.
