A senior Qatar Airways executive has told an Australian Senate inquiry that there will be no repeat of an incident at Doha’s international airport in 2020 in which female passengers were subjected to invasive gynecological examinations.
Not discounting how awful this incident is, but WTF are you on about? Do you think this is somehow representative of your average journey to a Middle Eastern country? Which one are you even talking about? There are a dozen different countries in the Middle East with different cultures and political climates.
Not the OP here, and I do not disagree with you in general, but I feel that Kazakhstan seems a cool place, the other Turkish countries seem “visitable” as well. The big problem is all these countries with sharia law or with a big influence of sharia defenders, and it is not only Middle East but a lot of saarian countries too.

Name one country in the middle East that doesn’t have deliberately sexist laws and or bonded labour /slavery. I’ll wait.

Which one do you recommend?
To avoid? As a middle eastern living in middle east: all of them plus every other country in 2000km vicinity.
Yeah I worked with a couple of Syrians a while back and that was pretty much how they felt.
