Dubai and Qatar are the places most devoid of culture that I have been to. Any local culture has been overwhelmed by the number of FT. More ceca folks than in SG as a proportion of total population. Mostly just low-cost robots working for money. We in SG actually attract the better quality FT. Another issue is excellent hardware but very poor software, e.g. they build nice roads but forget about the sidewalks which are always poorly cleaned or constructed halfway.
