Saudi Arabia was great, now in Dubai, which blocks flickr..., originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Saudi Arabia has the name for being conservative and all-controlling, while Dubai is full of Russian prostitutes and European women showing off their breasts and their legs... yet... access to flickr is perfectly tolerated in Saudi Arabia, in Dubai it is blocked. I have been to very many countries and have never had my access to flickr blocked. Not even at work!!!

This was me in the Old Town of Jeddah, trying on the local Saudi gear, although the salesman, next to me comes from Yemen.
