I'd say that the UAE has all of your listed "pros" ... depending, of course, on where are you are. While the coastal cities of both Saudi and the UAE are very humid (like Abu Dhabi, Dubai... and Jeddah)... interior cities will be dry (like Riyadh or Al Ain).
Same with toastmasters... depends on the size of the city.
So it seems to me that the UAE has all of the "pros" and none of the "cons."
In reality, best to make the choice on the employer... then on country.

I'm beginning to suspect that the two of you have dirty minds...
