Well I was born in Kuwait lived there till Gulf war... I have never seen such a worst people as Kuwaitis are...

Once there was a time when Kuwait was safe... I know many people who were robbed in their houses...

UAE is also very big but it is not safe as Qatar is... It really depends upon size of the country as well....

In terms of people, Omanis are the best and then UAE, and Qatar come...

with reference to Exit permit law, visit the following link:

Read the LAW section

Oman is also considering Exit Pass (http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/oman/oman-considers-exit-pass-for-expatria...)

Lets suppose that UAE has no exit pass, didn't you see what happened there.... When Dubai recession was started, around 1500 cars were found at Dubai airport without owners, many people used their credit cards up to their limit and ran away...
